TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention relates to a predetermined balanced total electrodestructure also uses a grouping of identically configured, and balancedpositioned, shielding electrodes that are amalgamated in sequentialcombination with predetermined, complimentary balanced shieldedelectrodes groupings and other predetermined elements that are together,practicable to provide predetermined multiple energy conditioningfunctions operable upon portions of propagating energy as wellsimultaneously being operable to provide a common, voltage referencefunction operable for at least dynamic circuit operations

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Today, as the density of electronic devices in societiesthroughout the world is increasing, governmental and self-imposedstandards for the suppression of electromagnetic interference (EMI) andprotecting electronics from that interference have become much stricter.Only a few years ago, the primary causes of interference were fromsources and conditions such as voltage imbalances, spurious voltagetransients from power surges, human beings, or other electromagneticwave generators.

[0003] At higher operating frequencies, line conditioning of propagatingenergy portions using prior art componentry has led to increased levelsof interference in the form of EMI, RFI, and capacitive and inductiveparasitics. These increases are due in part to the inherentmanufacturing imbalances and performance deficiencies of the passivecomponentry that create or induce interference into the associatedelectrical circuitry when functioning at higher operating frequencies.EMI can also be generated from the electrical circuit pathway itself,which makes shielding from EMI desirable.

[0004] Differential and common mode noise energy can be generated andwill usually traverse along and around cables, circuit board tracks ortraces, high-speed transmission lines and bus line pathways. In manycases, these critical energy conductors act as an antenna radiatingenergy fields that aggravate the problem even more.

[0005] In other energy conditioning areas such as for high frequencydecoupling for instance, a novel and unique approach is to provide aninvention that allows for predetermined and closely positioned parallelenergy pathways or electrodes to operate dynamically in close proximityto one another to allow development of a low impedance energy pathwaythat will develop upon a third parallel energy pathway not normallyconsidered as integral for energized circuit operations.

[0006] This third energy pathway is normally found to be electricallyisolated from, but be found internally adjacent to, the electricallyopposing differential electrode energy pathways or power/signal planes.This third energy pathway can also be utilized in one invention circuitassembly for multiple attachments as opposed to utilizing many,individual discrete low impedance decoupling capacitors, positioned inparallel within a prior art circuit assembly in an attempt to accomplishthe same goal.

[0007] The present invention discloses a new predetermined embodimentthat can be part of a predetermined circuit system to providepredetermined circuit protection and predetermined energy conditioningfrom various invention embodiments, invention assemblies, inventionassembly circuit arrangements that will help also provide the currentpassive component manufacturing infrastructure with multifunctionalenergy conditioning structure that also allows an unprecedented ease ofadaptability or production changeover as compared to the prior art.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The invention includes predetermined combinations of at leastthree, electrode groupings or grouped pluralities of electrodes. Thethree groupings include at least two groupings of complimentary orientedand positioned, shielded electrodes that are selectively orpredetermined and interleaved between a third grouping of electrodes,which will operate as shielding electrodes, relative to the at least twogroupings of complimentary oriented and positioned, shielded electrodes.

[0009] The three electrode groupings are arranged in a predeterminedmanner to be practicable for energized operations that will bepracticable or operable to allow the creation of at least a dynamicenergy pathway of low impedance or low impedance condition that can beoperable along a portion of predetermined internal invention energypathway portions and/or can be operable for a portion of predetermined,conductively coupled, common external conductive portion or pathway.

[0010] An external portion of a predetermined, conductively coupled,common conductive portion or pathway in conductively coupled combinationwith a predetermined physically balanced, amalgamated shielding, commonelectrode structure can be part of an electrically coupled portion of apredetermined circuit portion to complete a predetermined energyconditioning circuit network or predetermined energy distributionnetwork, or circuit that aids active electronic componentry by creatingbalanced, electromagnetic actuated impedance states at energization withamalgamated, grouped pluralities of at least two complementary orientedbut commonly comprised groups of same-sized shielded, complementaryoriented, electrodes that are also arraigned in-part, by at least apredetermined manner to be practicable for energized complementary ordifferential electrical operations that allows for sustained, smoothenergy portion conditioning as well as sustained, simultaneouselectromagnetic emissions suppression of stray energy portions orparasitics that would normally be operable to disrupt predeterminedenergized circuit portions with electrical or dynamic discontinuities.

[0011] Accordingly, there has been found a need to provide anamalgamation of selected electrodes into multi-functional energyconditioning embodiment. These predetermined energy conditioningembodiments will be found comprising various electrodes each comprisingan electrode, main-body portion with or without, predetermined electrodelead portions that are grouped and placed into relative to each other,both individually and as a part of a predetermined plurality ofhomogenous (not necessarily, in terms of material-types, composition),physically-configured, electrode groupings or a predetermined pluralityof homogenous (not in not necessarily, terms of material-types,composition), physically-configured energy pathways, predetermined forcombined, interposing positioning arrangements that includes other,predetermined conductive and non-conductive element portions that artalso predetermined in advance to form a predetermined assembly orassemblies and variations.

[0012] It is an object of an invention embodiment to be able to provideto a user a layered, multi-functional, predetermined common electrodeshield structure comprising conductive bypass pathways for portions ofpropagating energies that share a common and centrally positionedconductive pathway or electrode as part of its' larger, common,shielding electrode shielding structure that will allow for energyconditioning under predetermined arrangements, within an inclusiveembodiment or embodiment variation that possesses a commonly shared andcentrally positioned conductive pathway or electrode with apredetermined, main-body portion as part of its structure. It is anobject of an invention embodiment to provide a multi-functional, commonelectrode shield and energy conditioning structure for electrode energypathways which can take on a wide variety of multi-layered embodimentsand utilize a host of dielectric materials, unlimited by their specificphysical properties that can, when attached into circuitry andenergized, provide simultaneous line conditioning functions andprotections as will be described.

[0013] It is an object of an invention embodiment to be easily adaptedto utilization the shielding electrode element that is operable forperforming the electrostatic shielding function and third energy pathwayfunction when energized and conductively coupled to a common conductivearea or third energy pathway located external to the originallymanufactured invention.

[0014] The layered, multi-functional, predetermined common electrodeshield structure also provides electrical shielding to portions ofpropagating energy that will gather or be found near portions ofelectrode with predetermined, main-body portions' edges or edgings. Anumerous multitude of arrangements can be built for the invention, suchthat these variants and configurations of the invention will only bedisclosed as a fraction of a small portion of the possibilities, herein.The disclosure as provided reveals variations that can be implementedand built upon that would exploit many of the above objects andadvantages of a typical invention embodiment as it has been envisionedby the inventor.

[0047] As used in this disclosure, the word predetermined is to meanamong others, “to determine, decide, or establish in advance” “influenceor sway toward an action” “predisposed” “to determine or decidesomething in advance” or any evidence “that would point out throughcommon sense or forensic investigation or records to a fact orsubstantial assurance to a reasonable person that an action or anassembly of the invention elements had required a human thought processbefore an invention structure or action had took place or even will takeplace “

[0048] A predetermined, universal shielding electrode architectures'“interrelational-matrix” arrangement that comprises at least apredetermined stacked, parallel and aligned, grouping of conductivelycoupled, shielding electrodes comprising at least a main-body portion81, each is disclosed. This is a common, shielding electrode structureformed as an inter-relational-matrix static structure that becomes afull and symmetrical, hierarchy progression in dynamic operations aspart of a predetermined element combination.

[0049] The universal shielding electrode (conductor) architectures'stacked, parallel and aligned, groupings of conductively coupled,shielding and containment structures further comprises a balancedpredetermined, grouping of homogenous, interconnected, common, shieldingelectrodes each with a main-body portion 81 with predetermined shapedsurfaces, of which a main-body portion 81 can also comprise or includecommon, shielding electrode lead attachment portion(s) 79G that areoperable to allow further operable attachment or conductive couplingwith either, other, predetermined conductive material portion(s), thatare in-turn, each (the predetermined conductive material portion(s)) arealso operable for shielding electrode lead attachment portion(s) 79G aspracticable, themselves, for further conductive coupling topredetermined portions for predetermined electrical circuit coupling orto predetermined intermediate conductor portions or just direct energypathway portions for predetermined electrical circuit coupling, all foreventual, predetermined energized or dynamic, operations.

[0050] The universal shielding electrode (conductor) architectures'stacked, parallel and aligned, groupings of conductively coupled,shielding and containment structures can be combined by at least asequenced, predetermined manufactured operation as will be described.The invention can also comprise a predetermined balanced amalgamation ofa stacked, parallel shielding electrode arrangement and alignment thatis formed, at least in-part as a relative, 3-demensional offset/outsetor inset predetermined positioning arrangement of the variouspredetermined shielded and/or fully shielded, complementary positioned,predetermined and same-size, portions of paired, shielded electrodeswith main-body portion 80, each, that are symmetrically arrangedrespective to each other operable for common predetermined,complementary alignment.

[0051] These shielded electrodes with main-body portion 80, each arealso operable for mutually covering, registration or stacked alignmentarrangement to each other that allows for these complementarypositioned, predetermined and same-size, electrode, main-body portions80 of the paired differential electrodes to be complementary, in anelectrically dynamic operational circuit, as well.

[0052] These complementary arranged pairs(s) of shielded electrodemain-body portion 80 s are all at least practicable to be arranged bypredetermined manner to operable in the range to be at least fullyshielded or a fully shielded in terms of their main-body portion 80relative to each other as well as relative to the predetermined,shielding electrodes with at least main-body portion 81 and their fullrange of shielding of the differentials from other external energy, notof the paired differential electrodes when energized into a circuitry bypredetermined manner.

[0053] In a fully shielded, static state, a portion of thepredetermined, universal shielding electrode architecture is operable tophysically shield or provide a shielding function in order to eitherfully isolate and immure these predetermined paired, differential,shielded electrode main-body portions 81 as they still maintain a fullsymmetrical relationship to each other within a shielding coverage ofthe predetermined, universal shielding electrode architectures'“interrelational-matrix” arrangement comprising at least a predeterminedstacked, parallel and aligned, grouping of conductively coupled,shielding electrodes comprising at least a main-body portion 81, each.The predetermined shielding and/or fully shielding electrodes areconductively coupled and will be operable together as a singleconductively connected structure that is practicable for an electricallycommon voltage potential at energization.

[0054] Declarations stating ‘cancellation’ or ‘suppression’ mean in theordinary sense of the understanding of the typical manufacturingtolerances in mind, in-terms of the invention or variant, structuresshapes, and sizes. Other uses of the words such as ‘same-time, samesize, same sized, identical, equal, equal-sized’, etc. should beunderstood with the preciseness of the real world as to the words reliedupon for an explanation which is all bearing upon the generalunderstanding as to what is considered a ‘normal’ and a ‘standard’,especially to what is as practical for manufacturing tolerances or asnormally practiced manufacturing within the state of the art for thevarious OEM's who will actually construct the invention or its' variantsdescribed herein. The acronym term “AOC” will be used for the words,“predetermined area or space of physical convergence or junction” refersto both, to discrete or non-discrete versions of an invention or variantand can be defined as the general recognized physical boundary ofpredetermined manufactured-together invention or variant elements.

[0055] The acronym term marked as AOI, 69-AOI within the drawings andtext will be used for the words “the predetermined or designated forthree-dimensional area(s), locals, or predetermined zone(s) within aninvention or variant, that is practicable for sustaining preferredelectrically opposing, mutually complementary energy portion confluencesand interactions” when an invention is configured with by-pass electrodestructures.

[0056] The acronym term marked as 806 or 806“X” within the drawings andtext will be used for the words “the predetermined or designated forthree-dimensional boundary zone(s) or area(s), locals, or predeterminedzone(s) within an invention or variant, that is practicable as anadditional parasitic barrier that separates areas practicable forsustained electrostatic shielding along a setback portion orpredetermined setback portion or portions of differential electrodemain-body portion 80 perimeter edges that could be operable to or fordisruption of energy parasitics when an invention is configured withby-pass electrode structures and under goes energy propagations asopposed to areas that will allow energy parasitic entry or escape in aregion not comprising an 806-AOI (as just described) and which will bedesignated or described later.

[0057] Accordingly, at least one predetermined manufacturing process canbe utilized to create an invention will result in a sequentiallypositioned formation of relatively positioned (to each other) groupingsof electrodes made into an amalgamated electronic structure comprisingbalanced groupings of predetermined energy pathways or electrodes. Thepredetermined amalgamation of selected electrodes are formed in-part, byat least a predetermined, sequential manufacturing operation that hasnormally occurred before actual and final placement into an applicationfor energization. During a manufacturing operation at least onerepetitive sequential step of invention or variant, element amalgamationwill take place when these manufacturing operations are the result ofautomated operations to manufacture at least a two or more inventionunits in one location, sequential manufacturing process of the inventioneither in a building location where layering of the invention hasalready occurred or if practicable or operable in another area orbuilding location found anywhere else in the world practicable for amanufacturer or owner of the materials at that moment before ½ of any500 units that are layered sequentially during a 7 day time period.

[0058] Rather than produce a deluge of the repeated uses of the words“predetermined manufacturing sequential placement”, “pre-selectedmanufacturing sequential placement”, it will be stated thatsubstantially all of the various electrodes that comprise the invention,should be disclosed to have had at least a two part, predeterminedmanufacturing sequential placement creating a portion of an eventual AOCof the invention preformed. This means that a placement of certainnumbers of a groups of various electrodes element groups is repeated atleast twice within an hours' period when manufacturing or making atleast one invention or variant, unit.

[0059] Specifically, related to the words “predetermined manufacturingsequential placement”, “pre-selected manufacturing sequentialplacement”, for example, a timing of manufacturing of the invention isdisclosed which will begin with the placement of a first shieldingelectrode created for final amalgamation as part of a first inventionunits' AOC.

[0060] Immediately following placement of the first common for use aspart of a first invention or variant, unit, directly after that point intime, a one-hour period begins. At least a second, shielding electrodewill be will be created for final amalgamation for use as part of afirst invention or variant, units' AOC within at least a one hours' timeof the placement of the first shielding electrode.

[0061] This axiom is good regardless of the number or kinds of other,final electrode elements utilized as part of a first invention orvariant, units' AOC that are positioned or placed in-between or within,both from a positioned, or deposited standpoint, adjacent to the firstshielding electrode as described above. This includes or kinds ofmaterial elements, final electrode elements utilized during that onehour time window that started in the manufacturing process for thesubsequent positioning of the second shielding electrode. With this EMIfiltering ability, the invention will also provide predetermined typesof surge protection for circuitry attached between a source and anenergy utilizing-load. The predetermined amalgamation of selectedelectrodes are formed in-part, by at least a predetermined, sequentialmanufacturing operation that has normally occurred before actual andfinal placement into an application for energization. During amanufacturing operation, at least one repetitive sequential step ofinvention element amalgamation will take place when these manufacturingoperations are the result of automated operations to manufacture atleast a two or more invention units in one location.

[0062] In arrangements of the shielding electrode cage-like structure orportions, balanced groupings of predetermined and internally positionedelectrodes can also create specific predetermined, shielding electrodearchitectures using a stacked hierarchy progression that can be observedstatically as an arrangement of predetermined elements that are found tobe positioned both, complementary and/or equally in amounts on one, oftwo, larger, symmetrical and parallel sides comprising material,disposed or formed as the shielding electrode's, two, main-body portions81 of a centrally positioned, shielding electrode 800/800-IM that servesas the predetermined physical, sharing point, dividing zone, fulcrum orbalancing point for equally divided remaining portions of not only aplurality of the shielding electrodes comprising the predeterminedshielding structure but all the other Inventions' predetermined materialelements located within an invention predetermined AOC.

[0063] Specifically, the invention and/or variations of the inventionwill utilize the other various predetermined common shielded electrodes,each comprising 799 material, and disposed or formed with an electrode,main-body portion 81 in a predetermined placement positioning andalignment normally to be dispersed and found on either side of thecentrally positioned shielding electrode 800/800-IM, all equally dividedand arranged in a balanced and predetermined physical positioningwhether as described in this disclosure or not, within an AOC structure.

[0064] Predetermined placement or selective positioning of variouspaired same-size, shielded electrodes each with at least an electrode,main-body portion 80, or differential electrodes that results in whatappears to be an oppositely positioned same or duplication figure as theoriginal figure (or its reverse-mirror image) that could be called acomplementary symmetrical positioning. Such symmetrical positioningincludes reflected or rotated translation as well. Above all, thepairing operations yield a symmetrical electrode arrangement that can beconsidered a balanced electrode symmetrical design, as one will findwith the invention or its' variants in most complementary energyinteractions that are described as dynamic events, that are incomplementary balance, by symmetry, mainly of the energies propagatingalong the various differential electrode pairings and common, shieldingelectrodes are happening simultaneously, due to many reasons.

[0065] Among these reasons as noted, comprise the same-sized, orcomplementary, reverse-mirror image positioning orientations of thevarious symmetrical parings of differential, shielded electrodes. It isimportant to note that for a shielded electrode to be in areverse-mirror image positioning orientation with a mate, the electrodestructure called out includes the respective electrodes' whole portion,including main-body portion 80, plus any electrode lead portion(s)812“X”, extending, therefrom.

[0066] Another of these reasons as noted, comprise the common, shieldingelectrodes and their same-sized portion, as well as a predetermined,aligned perimeter mirror image positioning orientation of the units. Itis noted that a shielding electrode can not be found in discernableposition to the naked eye in a ‘reverse-mirror image positioningorientation’ with any mate, because as noted, the electrode structureincludes each respective electrodes' placed and coupled together as awhole, including main-body portion 81, plus any electrode leadportion(s) 79G, which form an electrode were all portions stacked,coupled and commonly aligned, share total perimeter edge alignment asthey are operable to form the single shielding, electrode structure asone unit.

[0067] The invention and/or variations of the invention or variant, willalso comprise predetermined conductive structures, electrode leadportions like, 79G or 812“X”, electrode termination elements or otherconductive material portions, like 802“X” or 890“X”, 809“X”, etc. thatare practicable for predetermined invention to predetermined circuitryattachment of these various conductive portions of the invention, to anynumber of various predetermined external (to the invention) energypathways that will create what is considered an unenergized,predetermined circuit assembly or one that later becomes an energizedcircuit assembly. Before energization, predetermined circuit portionscan also include predetermined circuit portions comprising the inventionand/or variations of the invention are practicable to be made operableby combination and conductive coupling to predetermined externalportions.

[0068] In by-pass arrangements, balanced groupings of predetermined andinternally positioned, shielding electrodes, each electrode beingcomprised with at least an electrode, main-body portion 81 used tocreate a predetermined, shielding, electrode architecture using astacked, electrode, main-body portion hierarchy progression that can beobserved statically as an arrangement of predetermined elements that arefound to be positioned both, complementary and/or equally in amount onone of two sides of a centrally positioned common, shielding electrodethat serves as the apparent physical fulcrum or balancing point forthese equally divided portions of material elements.

[0069] Predetermined, equal integer numbers of both predeterminedsame-size, shielded electrodes each with at least an electrode,main-body portion 80, or differential electrodes as well as equalnumbers of same-size, shielding electrodes each with at least anelectrode, main-body portion 81, will normally be found on either sideof a centrally positioned, shielding electrode that serves as thedivider or line of balanced portions of equal interspersed numbers ofthese two groupings of different sized electrodes divided and arrangedin a predetermined, balanced physical positioning that can includemirror image positioning and or in some cases, as reverse-mirror imagepositioning of paired same-size, shielded electrodes each with at leastan electrode, main-body portion 80 that are described as being disposed,but separated, as a pair or pairings such that their electrode,main-body portion 80 are shielded, segregated or separated, andconsidered to be sandwiched between and within a stacking of at leasttwo larger, electrode, main-body portion 81 of the similarly sizedshielding electrodes within the over all invention or variant structure.

[0070] The invention and/or variations of the invention can alsocomprise predetermined conductive structures, electrode main-bodyportions, electrode lead extension electrode termination elements orconductive portions that are practicable for predetermined circuitryattachment of these various conductive portions of the invention itselfto any number of various predetermined external (to the invention)energy pathways that will create what is considered an unenergizedcircuit assembly. Before energization, predetermined circuit portionscan also include predetermined circuit portions comprising the inventionand/or variations of the invention are practicable to be made operableby combination and conductive coupling to predetermined externalportions.

[0071] The invention is also disclosed as operable for both discrete andnon-discrete structural embodiment versions and circuit assemblies whereat least one pair of same-sized, complementary electrodes that arereversed-mirror images of each other are selectively positioned bypredetermined manner on opposite sides of a common, shielding electrodeenergy pathway with respect to each other. The central, shieldingelectrode along with any other of the Invention's energy pathways canalso be considered in some instances to be an electrode substrate,conductive material deposit, result of a etching away of non-conductivematerial to reveal conductive material, the result of a doping processthat makes a normally poor or nonconductive material portion conductivefor energy propagations, but in any embodiment all elements or resultsof a process could potentially be considered to serve as a centralisolating barrier that is interposed physically and in most cases,electrically (when energized) between each same-sized, complementaryelectrodes of the paired same-sized, complementary electrodes or any ofany other of the Invention's energy pathways or electrodes that createsan invention.

[0072] The advantage of providing same-sized, complementary electrodesfor those energy pathways requiring filtering enables the new energyconditioning filter to be constructed with conventional materials thatis economical for the many possible variants of the present inventionthat can be construed.

[0073] An invention will also provide for closely positioned internalparallel energy pathways of the invention to operate dynamically, inclose proximity to one another, to allow development of a low impedanceenergy pathway or blocking function that develops upon or along anothercommon and parallel energy pathway or amalgamated common, shieldingelectrode structure that is not normally considered as integral forenergized circuit operations or its (the circuits') completion ormaintenance for electrical operability.

[0074] This third but common energy pathway can be found both internallywithin the invention as well as adjacent to the electrically opposingdifferential electrode energy pathways or power/signal planes and can beutilized in at least one invention variation or device for certainpredetermined circuitries or bus lines as opposed to utilizing many,individual discrete low impedance decoupling energy conditioners orcapacitor/resistor combinations that are positioned in parallel within acomparable circuit system in an attempt to accomplish the same goal suchas high frequency decoupling.

[0075] This invention is intended to allow for an ability to minimize,suppress or filter unwanted electromagnetic emissions resulting fromdifferential and common mode currents flowing within electronic pathwaysthat come under an invention(s) influence both internally, with parallelcomplementary aligned and positioned electrodes, as well as incombination with externally coupled and positioned circuitry portions,all in accordance with the present invention.

[0076] The invention, when energized, will also allow both the fullycontained or contained and oppositely paired differential energy pathwayelectrodes to function with respect to one another, in balance, yet inan electrically opposite, complementary manner.

[0077] The invention can also comprise an arrangement of same-sized,complementary electrodes into a shielding or fully shielding common,shielding electrode structure combines to form a new filter assembly. Anarrangement of various conventional materials elements, same-sized,complementary electrodes, common electrodes or shielding electrodes thatare conductively connected to each other, as well as the predeterminedselective positioning process, final amalgamation, attachment andcircuit coupling can also be considered as at least one inventionvariant. The usage of predetermined and selective decisions as to thevarious nonattachment and non-coupling of certain whole elements orportions of elements, such as same-sized, complementary electrodes, aswell as the common, shielding electrodes to one another or not, can alsobe considered as at least one invention variant.

[0078] Portions of this third, but common energy pathway for a circuitarrangement assembly comprising the by-pass architecture invention, canbe found both internally within an invention, as well as portions can befound positioned almost physically, against, but adjacent with aninterposing material insulator or material with predetermined properties801 as a buffer to the electrically opposing same-size, shieldedelectrodes, each with at least an electrode, main-body portion 80, ordifferential, shielded electrode energy pathways or power/signal planes.Portions of this third, but common energy pathway can be utilized inconjunction with at least one invention circuit arrangement assemblyvariation or device for certain predetermined circuitries or bus linesthat are utilizing two other non-common energy pathways or differential,shielded energy pathways (not shown).

[0079] This three separate energy pathway energy network or energydistribution network concept used with a single, self-containedelectrode arrangement is opposed to the prior art, which often isutilizing many, individual discrete low impedance decoupling energyconditioners or capacitor/resistor combinations that are positioned inparallel within a comparable circuit system in an attempt to accomplishthe same goal such as high frequency decoupling provided by apredetermined circuit arrangement assembly.

[0080] Turning to FIG. 1A, and FIG. 1B, portions of predetermined,cage-like shielding electrode structure 4000 in FIG. 1B and are shown indetail in FIG. 1A and FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C and accordingly, discussionwill move freely between FIGS. 1, 2A and 2A, 2B and 2C to disclose theimportance of the predetermined, universal shielding electrodearchitectures' “interrelational-matrix” arrangement comprising at leasta predetermined stacked, parallel and aligned, grouping of conductivelycoupled, shielding electrodes comprising at least a main-body portion81, each. Conductively coupled together, shielding electrodes withmain-body portion 81, as well as any electrode extensions 79G that areof those shielding electrodes will be stacked by predeterminedsequencing to comprise a single, common shielding electrode structurelike that of embodiment portion 4000, used for a dynamic function ofelectrostatic shielding and suppression of portions of energy parasiticsduring energized operations.

[0081] In FIG. 1A, element 806 is shown as the distance or 3-demensionalarea of inset and positioning that is normally predetermined as thecommon relative distance utilized during manufacturing to accommodatethe needed insetting of the smaller electrode, main-body portion 80 ofthe shielded electrodes like that of 854BB and it's main-body portion80, substantially within the registration, or area, or surface area ofthe larger electrode 800/800-IM's main-body portion 81, which is alsonoted as the key and centrally positioned shielding electrode.

[0082] Element 814F is the predetermined distance or 3-demensional areaof inset and positioning of shielded electrode 854BBs' main-body portion80 from the embodiment edge 817 of the whole embodiment portion 4000.Element 814 is the predetermined distance or 3-demensional area of insetand positioning of centrally oriented, aligned and positioned, largershielding electrode designated herein as 800/800-IMs' own, main-bodyportion 81 from the edge 817 of embodiment portion 4000.

[0083] The inset and positioning of whole shielded electrode 854BBs'main-body portion 80 and later defined electrode lead portion 812A orgenerally as 812“X”, is relative to its position to the predeterminedposition of shielding electrode 800/800-IM position in an AOC as aresult of a predetermined, manufacturing operation or sequence result.This predetermined, manufacturing operation or sequence result comprisesa static predetermined electrode groupings comprising shieldedelectrodes and shielding electrodes.

[0084] A shaped material portion designated as 800P comprises at least aportion of material 801 comprising predetermined properties alsopracticable for receiving electrode material or at least madepracticable for energy portion propagation by a predetermined processsuch as a chemical doping or a other predetermined combination dopingprocess or predetermined steps involving predetermined processes thatleave a resulting predetermined area at least operable for conductiveoperations upon a material portion comprising predetermined properties.

[0085] The predetermined electrodes, 800/800-IM and shielded electrode854BB are shown in FIG. 1A already disposed upon or coupled to materialportions with predetermined properties 801 designated as 800P and854BB-P (not shown), and were done as to better disclose certain aspectsof the final structure combination. This is not to say that theorientation, alignments or positions laid out as depicted should beconceived to be the only type of layout of the final amalgamation of theinvention that is possible.

[0086] On the contrary, FIG. 1A represents a fraction of the innumerablepossible layout combinations of a final amalgamation of an invention aslong as predetermined orientation, alignments or positions relationshiprules are maintained, almost anything is practicable in terms of a finalpredetermined amalgam result of predetermined electrode combinationswith other predetermined material portions or predetermined elements.

[0087] For a configuration as shown in FIG. 1, the whole, planar-shaped,shielded electrode 854BB comprises at least one electrode portiondesignated as an electrode lead portion 812 or electrode extension 812,which is found to be co-planar with the main-body electrode portion 80of shielded electrode 854B. Electrode lead portion 812 or electrodeextension 812 is normally disposed or formed contiguously with themain-body electrode portion 80 by at least predetermined manner.

[0088] Conductive-shielded electrode or shielded electrode 854BB issandwiched between central larger, shielding electrode 800/800-IM andlarger, shielding electrode 815 (not shown). Larger (this relationshipis always relative to and between the two groupings of electrodes largershielding electrode verses smaller shielded electrodes describedherein), shielding electrodes 800/800-IM, and 815 are all separated fromeach other by a general parallel interposition of a material 801 withpredetermined properties as well as between the other 800D shieldingelectrodes relative position to any shielded electrodes, respectposition to the central larger, shielding electrode 800/800-IM andshielded electrode or energy pathway 854BB that feature a shieldedelectrode such as electrode 854BB with a main-body electrode portion 80almost completely inset and immured within the two sandwiching coverageof both shielding electrode 815 and 800/800-IM, respectively that aresandwiching shielded electrode 854BB in this case, above and below,within the invention. The electrode lead portion 812 or electrodeextension 812 is normally practicable to be oriented, aligned andpositioned in a relative distance relationship as part of the whole,shielded electrode 854BB and can be utilized by when at least thesmaller sized electrode, main-body portion or portions 80 of theshielded electrode 854BB is physically inset within at least onepredetermined distance or area portion designated as at least 806 or806-AOI. This relationship of inset would also be comprise withinpredetermined amalgamation portion of at least two same-sized (to eachother) coupled common together, shielding electrodes with at least amain-body portion 81 each.

[0089] Shielded electrode 854BB also comprises at least two additionalcontiguous (but, not necessarily, adjacent) portion(s) or electrodeleads 79G or electrode extensions 79G, which in this case, are found aspositioned by predetermined manner, directly opposite each other, toeither of the North/South sides (relative per the standard pageorientation of the Top being North and the bottom the South) ofshielding electrode 800/800-IM or with the coupling electrode materialportions 802A and 802B.

[0090] At least one of 812 s' conductive edge portion(s) (not shown) ofelectrode lead portion or lead extension 812 further comprised of thesmaller sized shielded electrode 854BBs' main-body electrode portion 80is operable for at least one conductive edge portion (not shown)practicable for at least one eventual, predetermined electrical circuitcoupling or conductive connection attachment (not shown).

[0091] This at least one, 812 conductive edge portion will be operablefor at least one eventual, predetermined electrical circuit coupling orconductive connection attachment (not shown) that is normally locatedbeyond a predetermined boundary portion 805 or predetermined perimeterportion 805 or a grouping edge portion 805 comprising the commonlyaligned electrode edge portions of at least a predetermined stacked andparallel grouped, electrode, main-body portion 81 s (not all shown) ofthe predetermined coupled, shielding electrodes such as 854BB.

[0092] Because the smaller sized shielded electrode 854BBs' main-bodyelectrode portion 80 (but for the 812 electrode lead portion) isposition inset or immured within the area registries or sandwiched areaor space by both shielding electrodes 800/800-IM and 815 s' (not shown)electrode main-body portion 81 s shielding electrode material 799, whenshielded electrode 854BB is conductively coupled to conductive materialportion 890A and amalgamated with at least two other predeterminedshielding electrodes, the grouping will comprises at least a portion ofa 3-demensional static area or space operable as 69.

[0093] The shielding amalgamation is practicable as a single conductivestructure and when, in-combination with predetermined coupledconnections, to perform a combination static and dynamic shieldingfunction operable during energized operation upon portions of energypropagating along portions of at least one predetermined pair ofsame-sized, complementary orientated, positioned and parallel, stackshielded electrodes, each.

[0094] This combined static and dynamic shielding function is performedby a predetermined, amalgamated, shielding electrode structure when theinset, shielded electrode pair combinations receive a static portion ofthe shielding function at all times as the single, electrically commonstructure, specifically, and occurs in an at rest state by its static,immuring or containment, physically upon substantially all of amain-body electrode portion 80 of any shielded electrode found within atypical conditioner like 400.

[0095] An exception would be a small shielded electrode portion (notnumbered) transitioning into the predetermined electrode lead portion812“X” that is practicable for conductive electrical connection at apoint found beyond the outside perimeter, co-planar to the lead 812“X”smain-body electrode portion from which it is integrally coupled.

[0096] A predetermined electrode lead portion 812“X” could be to bealigned up to or against the imaginary inside perimeter of the 806 areaor space as a transition portion (not numbered) becomes definedgenerally as now beyond the 806 portion which is normally defined asarea or space located between or within, an average of the alignments2500 of a predetermined cross section comprising both shielding andshielded electrode portions, readily definable, or just predeterminedcross section a common alignment of the shielding electrodes' main-bodyelectrode portion 81 edges and the common alignment of the shieldedelectrodes' main-body electrode portion 80 edges that together, helpdefine a portion of the 806's 3-demensional perimeter within theshielding structure 4000 portion common 805.

[0097]69 is also operable predetermined in a dynamically operatingpredetermined circuit assembly portion as 69/AOI within an invention AOCoperable as a contiguously and integrally comprised portion dynamicallycreated within the predetermined amalgamation portion of AOC comprisingat least three same-sized (to each other) coupled common together,shielding electrodes. Arrows 813A and 813B depict various energypropagation movements.

[0098] The contiguously and integrally comprised portion 69/AOIdynamically created operable within an invention AOC is always found tobe within the smaller designated area relative to that total designatedarea a portion of which can be demarcated by at least physical,predetermined boundary 803 or a physical, predetermined perimeterportion 803 or a physical, grouping edge portion 803 of a shieldedelectrode like 854BB and its' main-body portion 80.

[0099] For coupling to an un-contiguously disposed or formed conductiveportion like 890A, 802A and 802B or one not shown located coupled toportions of edge 817, respectively, these predetermined electrodes 854BBand 800/800-IM are positioned in a substantially parallel mannerrelative to each other by a desired or a needed predetermined result tobe operable to these other conductive material portions like 890A forshielded electrode 854BB by way of electrode lead portion 812 and toanother conductive material portion like 802A and 802B for the centralshielding electrode 800/800-IM by way of electrode lead portions 79G's,respectively.

[0100] Electrode lead portions 79G's can be conductively coupled toconductive material portions, 802A and 802B, respectively, and electrodelead portion 812A can be conductively coupled to conductive materialportion 890A, all respectively.

[0101] Application sequence of the conductive material portions 890A,802A and 802B are not critical as compared to at least a stacking ofelectrodes manufacturing run, and can be applied or deposited orconductively couple at a later time or under a separate conductivecoupling process that at least leaves the (2) 79Gs electrode portionsand the 812A electrode portion conductively attached to conductivematerial portions 802A, 802B and 812, respectively, operable foreventual electrical operations.

[0102] For predetermined, non-discrete embodiment portions, for example,not shown, lectrode lead portion 812 is practicable for conductivecoupling with, or such as but not limited to at least a conductivematerial portion or structures not shown but any circuit portion coupledconnection that is predetermined for a specific coupling to an electrodeportion practicable for using the invention embodiment in apredetermined manner.

[0103] (It should also be noted that the preceding defined placementswere subject only to this drawing for aiding in disclosure understandingand that north, South East and West are drawing location aids ONLY andthat this drawing, as are the rest of the disclosures are depictionsonly to aid one skilled in the art for understanding. It is theapplicants true preference for a disclosure without drawings, but it isdone here as a concession to others. These drawings and locations calledout are present as graphics and are not and can not be taken by thereader as to scale or construed as such, for determining any sort ofquantifiable measurement result, made, attempted or contemplated asanything but a rough drawing.) A shielding electrode's main-body portion81 is not limited to just two electrode extensions 79G, but normallywith a discrete multi-layered non-holed chip-embodiment will comprise atleast a paired, contiguous (but, not necessarily, adjacent) portion(s)or electrode leads or electrode extensions 79G. There are exceptions,such as a contiguous common, shielding electrode extension 79G found insome hole-thru embodiment portions of commonly-owned copending inventionvariations performing propagations of energy (not shown) and is allowed.

[0104] Shielded electrode's main-body portion 80 is also not limited tojust one electrode 10 extension 812A as an axiom as far as this positionfor at least contiguous (but, not necessarily, adjacent) portion(s) orelectrode leads or electrode extensions 812 s and a predeterminedconfiguration needed as such is always contemplated.

[0105] Each of these electrode lead 812, 79G or electrode extension 812,79G is made of the same electrode material 799. These leads 812, 79G aresimply an extension of the same electrodes and their main-body portions80 and 81, respectively, of electrodes like that of shielded electrode854BB and 800/800-IM, respectively all integral to a monolithic orcontiguous format with each respective electrode, main-body portion80/81.

[0106] At least one pair of contiguous (but, not necessarily, adjacent)portion(s) or electrode leads or electrode extensions designated 812Aand 812B are both practicable for conductive connection for futureenergized operation by operable coupling or electrical connected or areeventually conductively or electrically coupled to external terminalelectrodes or electrode terminal material portions 890A and 890B forfurther conductive attachment (not shown) into predetermined circuitryby soldering or other commonly used conductive attachment manners likeresistive fit or tension fit by conductive material portions operablefor such functions, respectively, in the case of discrete versions.

[0107] In addition, a non-discreet version of the invention embodimentportion, although not shown, could easily be fabricated in silicon anddirectly incorporated into integrated circuit microprocessor circuitryor chips. Integrated circuits are already being made comprisingcapacitors etched within the silicon die or semiconductor die or siliconfoundation, which allows the non-discreet versions architecture of thepresent invention to readily be incorporated with technology availabletoday. Non-discreet versions of the invention can use a coupling ofelectrode lead or electrode extension(s) 812 from the shielded,electrode, main-body portion 80 for the active by-pass electrodepathways to be operable or practicable for conductive amalgamation ofthe various predetermined active circuitry pathway(s).

[0108] For extension, 812A of the predetermined shielded electrode854BB, at least predetermined one portion is operable for coupling to atleast one of two predetermined differential conductive portions of apredetermined circuit pathway located between a predetermined energysource and a predetermined energy-utilizing load in most cases.

[0109] The same non-discreet version of the invention can use a couplingof electrode lead or electrode extension(s) 79G from the electrode,main-body portion 81 for the shielding electrodes or common shieldingpathways electrode, main-body portion 81 to be operable or practicablefor conductive amalgamation of various predetermined, common pathway(s)not of the various predetermined active circuitry pathway(s). In thistype of embodiment portion as a non-discreet version of the inventions'shielding electrode contiguous shielding electrode lead portions 79G andthe contiguous, common electrode lead portions 79G are operable forelectrical operations after coupling to portions of predeterminedelectrical conduit or any other sort of electrical couplinginterconnecting medium portion normally found physically between aenergy source and an energy-utilizing load to allow operable electricalcoupling or electrical connection or an electrically operableamalgamation result to allow the invention embodiment to become aportion of a predetermined common circuit.

[0110] In an energized system, the invention contains a singleshielding, cage-like structure 1600B or grouped commonly conductiveelements that form extension and/or transformational fusion to itsattached an external contiguous conductive area 314, will significantlyeliminate, reduce and/or suppress E-Fields and H-fields emissions, RFloop radiation, stray capacitances, stray inductances, capacitiveparasitics, and at the same time allow for mutual cancellation ofoppositely charged or phased and adjacent or abutting electrical fields.The process of electrical energy transmission conditioning is considereda dynamic process over time.

[0111] This process can be measured to some degree by devices such asdual port, Time Domain Reflectometry test equipment and/or otherindustry standard test equipment and fixtures. The invention can also beattached in a single, dual or multi-conductor electrical system withslight modifications made to accommodate external input and outputenergy transmission conductors or paths for such applications likesignal, energy transmission and/or the energy source line decoupling,bypassing and filtering operations. Circuitry and depictions of some ofthe embodiment portions shown in this document expose some of theplacements contemplated by the applicant and should not be construed asthe only possible configurations of the invention elements.

[0112] In dynamic operation, a large portion of energy parasitics willnormally be found, concentrated along the smaller, shielded electrodes'outer electrode edge 803 portions of the electrode main-body portion 80s such as from 854BBs' of FIG. 1A substantially immured within thepredetermined electrode, main-body portion 81 area of the commonlyaligned, shielding electrode 800/800-IM with perimeter electrode edges805 found comprising a portion of the larger shielding electrodes855/855-IM, 845, 835, 825, 815, 800/800-IM, 810, 820, 830, 840,850/850-IM in FIG. 2A for example.

[0113] The shielding electrodes 800/800-IM, 815, and 810 are alsosurrounded by material with predetermined properties 801 that providessupport and an outer casing of a discrete version of an inventioncomponent. Both common shield termination structures 802A and 802B areconductively coupled to the same larger, shielding electrodes 815 and800/800-IM and 810 individually and commonly conductive as a grouping,which is essential and is desired for this embodiment portion.

[0114] When the entire predetermined invention or predeterminedembodiment portion is placed into circuitry, termination structures 802should be attached by standard means known in the art to the sameexternal conductive area or to the same external conductive path (notshown) without an interruption or conductive gap between each respectivetermination structures, 802.

[0115] A predetermined standard coupling means known in the artfacilitates conductive connection of common shield terminationstructures 802A and 802B, which are attached, respectively, oppositely,on all three shielding electrode 800/800-IM, 815, and 810 (not shown)together. This act will help form a single structure to act as onecommon conductive predetermined, common conductive cage-like shieldstructure of 1600B (not shown).

[0116] Predetermined, common conductive cage-like structure 800D mirrorssingle, predetermined, common conductive cage-like structure 800E exceptthat shielded, differential electrode 855BT (not shown) containedwithin, is sandwiched and has a exit/entrance section 812B (not shown)with conductive material portion or structure 890B (not shown) that isnot fully shielded, but in a generally opposing direction to that ofconductive material portion or structure 890A and shielded electrode854BB to join with conductive material portion or structure 890B (notshown).

[0117] These two predetermined, common conductive cage-like structures800D and 800E are in a predetermined, aligned and stacked positioned andparallel relationship, but most importantly, cage-like structures 800Dand 800E are sharing the same, central, shielding electrode 800/800-IM,layer or pathway simultaneously that makes up each predetermined, commonconductive cage-like structures 800D and 800E, when taken individually.

[0118] Together, predetermined, common conductive cage-like structures800D and 800E create a single and larger conductive predetermined,common conductive cage-like shield structure 1600B that acts as ashielding electrode double container. Each shielding electrode doublecontainer 800D and 800E will hold an equal number of same sized,shielded electrodes that are complementary oriented and positioned toeach other inset within. The invention when energized will operatedynamically opposing during energized operations one another within saidlarger structure 1600B in a generally parallel manner, respectively.Larger conductive predetermined, common conductive cage-like shieldstructure 1600Bis made with co-acting 800Dand 800E individual,shield-like structures when energized, and attached to the same externalcommon conductive path 34 (not shown), to become one electrically.

[0119] The 1600 b structure in essence, forms a minimum of twopredetermined, common conductive cage-like structures 800E and 800D arerequired to make up a shielding, multi-functional energy conditioningdevice in all of the layered embodiment portions of the presentinvention. The central larger, shielding electrode 800/800-IM withrespect to its interposition between the differential, shieldedelectrodes 854BB and 855BT (not shown) needs the outer two additionalsandwiching larger (but identically sized) shielding electrodes 815 and810 to be considered an un-energized predetermined, common conductivecage-like shield structure 1600B.

[0120] To go further, the central larger, shielding electrode 800/800-IMwill be simultaneously used by both differential electrodes 854BB and855BT at the same time, but with opposite results, with respective tocharge switching. It must be noted that for most chip, non-hole thruembodiment portions, a new device will have a minimum of twodifferential electrodes sandwiched between three larger (but identicallysized) shielding electrodes and connected, external terminationstructures that are connected, and are conductively, as one, to form asingle, larger predetermined, common conductive cage-like shieldstructure 1600B that when attached to a larger external conductive area314, helps perform simultaneously, energized line conditioning andfiltering functions, upon the energy propagating along the conductorssandwich within the said cage-like shield structure 1600B, in anoppositely phased or charged manner.

[0121] The now attached, internal common conductive electrodes800/800-IM, 815 and 810 (not shown) that make up the predetermined,common conductive cage-like shield structure 1600B and their subsequentenergization will allow the external conductive area or pathway 34 tobecome, in essence, an extended and closely positioned and essentiallyparallel arrangement of conductive elements with respect to its positionalso located internally within the pre-determined layered PCB or similarelectronic circuitry.

[0122] Connection of the joined common conductive, and enveloping,multiple, common shield electrodes 815 and 810 (not shown) with a commoncentrally located larger, shielding electrode 800/800-IM that will be,to external extension elements 314 interposed in such a multiple,parallel manner that the external extension elements will have micronsof distance separation or ‘loop area’ with respect to the complimentary,phased differential electrodes 854BB and 855BT (not shown) that aresandwiched themselves and yet are separated (not shown) from theexternal extension 34 by a distance containing a dielectric medium 801so that said extension becomes an enveloping shield-like element thatwill perform electrostatic shielding functions, among others, that thesaid energized combination will enhance and produce efficient,simultaneous conditioning upon the energy propagating on or along saidportions of assembly differential conductors. The internal and externalparallel arrangement groupings of a combined common conductive planes orareas will also cancel and/or suppress unwanted parasitics,electromagnetic emissions that can escape from or enter upon portions ofsaid differential conductors used by said portions of energy as itpropagates along a conductive pathway to active assembly load(s).

[0123] In the following sections, reference to central shieldingelectrode 800/800-IM also applies to larger, shielding electrodes 815and 810. Shielding electrode 800/800-IM is offset a distance 814 fromthe edge of the invention. One or more portions 79G of the shieldingelectrode 800/800-IM extends 814 through material 801 and is attached toshielding electrode material connection portion or structure 802.Although not shown, the shielding electrode material connection portion802 electrically connects the identically sized, shielding electrodes800/800-IM, 815, and 810 to each other, and to all other identicallysized, shielding electrodes of the filter, if used.

[0124] The conductive-shielded electrode 854BB is not as large as theshielding electrode 800/800-IM such that an offset distance and area 806exists between the edge 803 of the shielded electrode 854BB and of theedge of the central larger, shielding electrode 800/800-IM. This offsetdistance and area 806 enables the larger, shielding electrode 800/800-IMto extend beyond the shielded electrode 854BB to provide a shieldagainst any flux lines which might extend beyond the edge 803 of theelectrode 854BB resulting in reduction or elimination of near fieldcoupling to other electrodes within the filter or to elements externalto the filter.

[0125] The horizontal offset 806 is approximately greater than 0 to atleast 20+ times or even more, dependant upon application situations, aslong as the range selected allows the 806 distance, as manufactured, tobe considered operable for a same-sized, but larger, sandwiching pair ofshielding electrodes with main-body portion 81 s. These shieldingelectrodes with main-body portion 81 s are to be operable for physicaland dynamic electrostatically shielding operations relative to apredetermined shielded electrode with main-body portion 80.

[0126] The predetermined shielded electrode with main-body portion 80,singularly or as part of a predetermined grouping is normally immuredwithin the predetermined sandwiching shielding electrode pair, as justdescribed, and relative to shielded main-body portion 80, grouped (atleast averaged uniformed spacing defined distances common 803 electrodeedges) when not inset again within a sub-group that are together, insetwithin the at least averaged uniformed spacing defined by the electrodeedge 805 perimeter that is common and used to create the 806 distanceinsetting relationship.

[0127] These electrode lead portions 812 are connected to electrodematerial connection portion 890A which enables the shielded electrode854BB to be electrically connected to the energy pathways (not shown) bysolder or the like as previously discussed. It should be noted thatelement 813 (not shown) is a dynamic representation of the center axispoint of the three-dimensional energy conditioning functions that takeplace within the invention and is relative with respect to the finalsize, shape and position of the embodiment portion in an energizedcircuit. For the static elements of the an amalgamation 813 (not shown)can also be further defined, relative to an imaginary intersecting orconfluence point of (3) axis or components of spatial positioningrelationships, such as X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis relationship of athree-dimensional Cartesian-like, coordinate system and will be expandedupon in FIG. 3C.

[0128] Turning to FIG. 1B, which shows a portion of a cage-likeshielding electrode container 800D depicted in FIG. 1A now shown in FIG.1B. By showing common conductive cage-like shielding structure portion1600B, comprising common conductive cage-like structures, 800D and 800E,respectively, one immediately that sees 800D and 800E is comprising thepredetermined embodiment-location relative, centrally positioned,shielding electrode 800/800-IM disposed upon material portion 800-P. Ata very basic element, level comprises a portion of material 801comprising predetermined properties and conductive electrode material799.

[0129] It should be noted that for FIG. 1B, substantially all of 8“XX”electrode portions of material 799 shown are disposed upon, in thiscase, planar-shaped material 801 portions with bottom portions 888, orportions of material 801 comprising predetermined properties with bottomportions 888 for stacking and sintering or bonding together as a singleunit.

[0130] These planar-shaped material 801 portions comprise a top surface(not numbered) 845P, 835P, 825P, 815P, 800P, 810P, 820P, 830P, 840P,850P are each disposed for receiving at least a portion of shieldingelectrode 845, 835, 825, 815, 800/800-IM, 810, 820, 830, 840, 850, etc.,and of which the shielding electrodes may comprise at least one,same-sized, electrode, main-body portion 81 with electrode leadportion(s) 79G.

[0131] In other variations of the invention where portions of material801 are not used as predetermined sheets or plates, centrally positionedand shared, shielding electrode 800/800-IM, as well as shieldingelectrodes 815, 810 and the optional shielding electrodes 855/855-IM and850/850-IM, as well as the shielded electrode pathways 855BB and 854BB,will all have the disposed, main electrode planar-shaped portions 81 and80 (for 81 for the shielding electrode, and 80 for the main-body portionfor the shielded, differential electrode portions) generally separatedfrom each other for the most part by a predetermined or measured amountof a parallel interposition or deposition of a predetermined material,dielectric material or medium material 801 , which is placed ordeposited during the manufacturing process between each of justmentioned conductive pathway or electrode material 799 applications orpositioning.

[0132] As has seen in FIG. 1B, dielectric material portion withpredetermined properties 801 or material portion with predeterminedproperties 801 or medium portion with predetermined properties 801,non-conductively couples and physically separates a substantial portionof the individual shielding electrodes or common pathway electrodes 830,810, 800/800-IM, 808, 840, from the conductive pathway electrodes (notshown) sandwiched therein form one another. It is then, with locationsnormally found co-planar along the predetermined electrode edge portionsof 805 the 79G electrode extensions or electrode leads are foundoperable for conductive attachment or conductive coupling to electrodematerial portions like 802A and 802B which are applied and amalgamatedto couple all members of the predetermined grouping at some pint in asequential manufacturing process.

[0133] As described in relation to FIG. 1B, a minimum of two cages, forexample 800D and 800E, which make up larger cage 1600B, are required tomake up a multi-functional line-conditioning structure for use in almostall of the layered embodiments of the present invention are shown. Theelectrode extensions 79G for coupled or conductive attachments orterminations with materials 802A or 802B or similar or not, may extendbeyond the end 817 (not fully shown) or final margins of a typicalinvention device when surface mounting is as described early is desired.Alternative conductive termination methods include applications ofvertical/horizontal material layers of conductive material elements thatare compatible with available and future processing technology can beused.

[0134] Most importantly, structures 800C, 800D, 800E, 800F, and 800G forexample as shown in FIG. 1B, when taken individually are comprising sixshielding electrodes, 825, 815, 800/800-IM, 810, 820, 830, but whentaken as separate operable shielding structures 1600A, 1600B, 1600C, onefinds that individually the six same-size, shielding electrodes eachwith at least an electrode, main-body portion 81 825, 815, 800/800-IM,810, 820, 830 utilized or shared together in a predeterminedinterweaved, overlapping manner, one will find that an operableshielding structure, 1600A utilizes same-size, shielding electrodes eachwith at least an electrode, main-body portion 81 800/800-IM, 810, 820,while operable shielding structure 1600B utilizes same-size, shieldingelectrodes each with at least an electrode, main-body portion 81, 815,800/800-IM, 810, while operable shielding structure 1600C is utilizingsame-size, shielding electrodes each with at least an electrode,main-body portion 81, 810, 820, 830, respectively.

[0135] It is of interest to note that shielding electrode 810 isutilized by all three operable shielding structures 1600“X” (A, B, C) asjust shown, thus a multiple usage of predetermined and positionedsame-size, shielding electrodes each with at least an electrode,main-body portion 81, such as 810 can be utilized in a manner thatcovey's 810 shielding role to multiple, adjacent, and even non-adjacent,same-size, shielded electrodes each with at least an electrode,main-body portion 80, or differential active electrodes not found.

[0136] Contained within common, shielding electrode structure 4000 ofFIG. 2A, container structures 800E and 800F for example when taken as alarger group and not individually, create a single and larger conductivecage-like shielding electrode shield structure 1600A, that acts as adouble or paired shielded electrode or common pathway container. Yet,800E and 800F also make up portions of 1600C and 1600B, respectively.Each container 800“X” can hold an equal number of same sized, same-size,shielded electrodes each with at least an electrode, main-body portion80, or differential active electrodes that are not necessarilyphysically adjacent one another within larger structure 1600“X”, yeteach container 800“X” container is predetermined to be oriented in agenerally homogenous physical as well as electrically parallel andcommon manner, respectively.

[0137] Larger, conductive cage-like electrode shield structure 1600Awith co-acting 800E and 800F individual shield-like structures, whenenergized, and attached to the same external common conductive path area(not shown) by common conductive material connection portions 802A and802B or by any possible means of commonly acceptable industry attachmentmethods such as reflux solder 777 (not shown) or conductive epoxies andadhesives and the like (all not shown), become one electrically, whenenergized.

[0138] To begin, an exploded, perspective view of predeterminedmulti-functional energy conditioner 400 is shown in FIG. 2A. Energyconditioner 400 combines and extends the concepts discussed in FIGS. 1Aand 1B and throughout the disclosure. FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional viewtaken along a longitudinal centerline bisecting the external electrodematerial connection portions 890A and 890B revealing the layeredarchitecture of the internal electrodes. FIG. 2C is a cross-sectionalview taken along a latitudinal centerline bisecting the external commonelectrode material connection portions 802A and 802B revealing thelayered architecture of the internal electrodes from a 90 degreerotation of the resulting cross-section as it is viewed from the samelocation that FIG. 2B was seen.

[0139] Shielding electrodes 850/855-IM, 815, 800/800-IM, 810, and850/855-IM comprising a predetermined plurality of the members of ashielding electrode groups are interleaved between a first of twopredetermined plurality of members of a predetermined shielded electrodegroups and a second of two predetermined plurality of the members of apredetermined shielded electrode groups.

[0140] A first of two predetermined plurality of members of apredetermined shielded electrode groups are shown as 855BT1 and 855BT2and a second of two predetermined plurality of members of a shieldedelectrode groups is shown as 854BB1 and 854BB2, and will comprise anamalgam of electrodes eventually manufactured into an amalgamatedgrouping of various predetermined elements.

[0141] Additional complementary paired and positioned sets ofpredetermined numbers of alternating, individual members ofpredetermined pluralities of members of electrode groups can be furtherplaced, positioned and oriented parallel to each other, stacked bypredetermined manner within additional predetermined common, shieldingelectrodes that are selectively positioned as needed (not shown).

[0142] In the present disclosure, many variations of energy conditioner400 are to be presented, but as such, all will comprise at least oneshielding electrode 800/800-IM or similar functioning centrallypositioned, shielding electrode separating the first plurality ofmembers of the groups of shielded electrodes 855BT1 and 855BT2 from thesecond plurality of members of a shielded electrode groups 854BB1 and854BB2.

[0143] Furthermore, at least one shielding electrodes 810, 815 arestacked and positioned on the outermost ends covering the upper mostshielded electrode 855BT1 and the lower most shielded electrode 854BB2,respectively.

[0144] Referring now to FIG. 2A, energy conditioner 400 comprises acentral shielding electrode 800/800-IM disposed or formed on a layer800P of material 801 comprising predetermined properties, which alsocomprises a portion of embodiment 400 s' perimeter edge 817. Shieldingelectrode 800/800-IM comprises at least two electrode lead portions 79G,or electrode extension portions, which are conductively connected tocommon external conductive wrap around electrode material portion 802(not shown but disclosed as an option for all invention embodiments, ifapplicable.) or common external, electrode material portion 802“x” or inthis case, paired, common external, electrode material portions, 802A,802B, respectively. These 802“x” portions can also be referred to aselectrode material connecting portion(s), which conductivelyinterconnect all shielding electrodes to each other operable for commonelectrical operations. Shielding electrode 800/800-IM has a main-body,electrode portion 81 with electrode perimeter edge 805, which is insetfrom conditioner 400's edge 817 by a distance or area shown as 814.

[0145] Shielded electrodes 855BT1 and 855BT2 are positioned aboveshielding electrode 800/800-IM. Shielded electrodes 855BT1 and 855BT2are disposed on a layer 855BT1-P and 855BT2-P, respectively, of material801 comprising predetermined properties and comprising a portion ofembodiment 400's perimeter edge 817. Shielded electrodes 855BT1 and855BT2 each comprise a main-body, electrode portion 80 and a common,shielding electrode perimeter edge portion 803, which is inset fromembodiment 400 perimeter edge 817 by a distance 814F and inset from theshielding electrode perimeter edge 805 by a distance of 806-AOI, exceptfor at least one electrode lead portion 812B, which in this embodiment400, is merely a conductive electrode extension of main-body electrodeportion 80 to the embodiment 400 s' edge 817, which is also comprises ofa portion of layer 855BT1-P and 855BT2-P to provide connection toexternal electrode material portion 890B or external conductive pathway.

[0146] Shielded electrodes 854BB1 and 854BB2 are predetermined to bepositioned inset and below, shielding electrode 800/800-IM. Shieldedelectrodes 854BB 1 and 854BB2 are disposed on a layer 854BB 1-P and854BB2-P of material 801 comprising predetermined properties in eachportion of 801 material of 854BB1-P and 854BB2-P which (801) alsocomprises a portion of embodiment 400 s' perimeter edge 817.

[0147] Shielded electrodes 854BB1 and 854BB2, each comprise a main-body,electrode portion 80 which is also comprising a perimeter edge portion803, which is inset from shielding electrode perimeter edge portions 805by a distance 806-AOI, except for at least one electrode lead portions812B, which in this embodiment is merely an extension of main-bodyelectrode portion 80 to the portion of the respective embodiments'material edge 817 of layer 854BB 1-P and 854BB2-P to provide connectionto external electrode material portion 890A or external conductivepathway. It is noted that the orientation of shielded electrodes 854BB1and 854BB2 is 180 degrees from shielded electrodes 855BT1 and 855BT2 inan electrically complementary configuration.

[0148] Shielding electrodes 815 and 855/855-IM are positioned andstacked parallel above shielded electrode 855BT1 and 855BT2. Shieldingelectrodes 815 and 855/855-IM are disposed on a layer 815P and 855P,respectively of material 801 comprising predetermined a property, whichalso comprises a portion of embodiment 400 s' perimeter edge 817.

[0149] Shielding electrodes 815 and 855/855-IM each comprise at leasttwo-electrode lead portion 79G, or electrode extension portions, whichare conductively connected to shielding external conductive materialportions 802A, 802B that conductively interconnect all shieldingelectrodes together as a single common conductive structure (not shown).Shielding electrodes 815 and 855/855-IM have main-body electrode portion81 s, respectively, each with a common perimeter edge 805, which isinset from edge 817 of embodiment 400, like central shielding electrode800/800-IM by a distance 814.

[0150] Shielding electrodes 810 and 850/850-IM are positioned aboveshielded electrodes 855BT1 and 855BT2. Shielding electrodes 810 and850/850-IM are disposed or formed on a layer 810P and 850P of material801 comprising predetermined properties, which also comprises a portionof embodiment 400 s' perimeter edge 817. Shielding electrodes 810 and850/850-IM each comprise at least two electrode lead portions 79G, orelectrode extension portions, which are conductively connected to commonexternal conductive material portions 802A, 802B which conductivelyinterconnect all shielding electrodes. Shielding electrode 810 s and850/850-IM each have a main-body, electrode portion 81 with perimeteredge 805, which is inset a portion of embodiment 400 s' perimeter edge817 by a distance 814, while as well as overlaps shielded electrode854BB1 by a distance 806-AOI.

[0151] Although not shown, additional pairs of shielded electrodes canbe utilized by modifying and repeating the alternatingshielded/shielding electrode stacking sequences or arrangements of theenergy conditioner 400. In extended repeated stackings, in oneembodiment it is preferred that either at least one, or two finalshielding electrodes are used at the outermost shielding electrodelocations, and one shielding electrode is used in between thealternating pluralities of shielded electrodes.

[0152] Referring now to FIGS. 2B and 2C, the assembled energyconditioner 400 is shown in cross-section as previously described. Inthese views the insetting by predetermined distance 806 of the pluralityof shielded electrodes 855BT1, 855BT2 as well as 854BB1 and 854BB2, isshown in better detail.

[0153] Also the extension or electrode lead portions 812A and 812B areshown operable for coupling to external electrode portions 809A and809B, respectively for electrical operation.

[0154] Furthermore, the predetermined size and coverage of predeterminednumbers of shielded electrodes' main-body portions 80 of thepredetermined sequential static stacking order are equivalent, and thepredetermined size and coverage of the predetermined shieldingelectrodes' main-body portions 81 are equivalent, such that they are thesame size, shape, and are aligned with the predetermined edges orpredetermined perimeters of their respective, shielded electrodes'main-body portions or of their respective, shielding electrodes'main-body portions members.

[0155] Turning to now to FIGS. 3A and 3B depicting shielded electrode875R taken as a closely paired, predetermined, symmetrical shieldedelectrode assembly of split-paired or pairing of a predeterminedsplit-electrode or doubled layering application, deposit or placement ofelectrode material 799 into predetermined, equal-sized, shieldedelectrode elements now called 875R-1 and 875R-2 with main-body portion80 electrode' twin symmetrical' portions that are separated with a verythin predetermined application or predetermined deposit or predeterminedlayering 814B of a material with predetermined properties 801 disposedbetween the first and second ‘split’ or doubled layering material 799application, 799 deposit or 799 placement. There is no actual, splittingprocess, rather, it is a predetermined manufacturing technique thatrelies upon the precise, manufacturing machinery and/or precise, skillsof the electrode builders in placing the very, very close, predeterminedelectrode application layerings, that offer in some cases the appearanceof a 875R split-electrode.

[0156] In this instance, a 875R is manufactured into the predetermined,dual layer (“split”) electrode elements 875R-1 and 875R-2 as describedabove is achieved by subdividing the predetermined electrode applicationlayerings from one to two cycles with a material 801 between each cycle.‘Split’ or doubled layering material 799 application layerings forexample, or whether it be a shielding, common electrode or a shieldedelectrode like 875R is now seen as a manufacturing technique that allowsclosely paired, predetermined, symmetrical twin electrodes orpredetermined equal-sized electrode assembly elements to be separated bya very thin 814B spacing layer. This 814B layering could be differentthan material with predetermined properties 801, depending on propertiesof the 814B thin layering materials used. Since all embodiments shownare considered dielectric independent, almost any material 801 could beused. It is also to note that 814B is not to be confused with a thinapplication dimensions or deposit dimensions or layering dimensionsdesignated as 814A which is used with the predetermined “-IM” layerings,for example, and which is also uses a predetermined spacing distance814A, but, NOT to the degree of thin spacing between 799 materials for814B, which is on the order of about 0.005 mil to 1.0 mil or as materialtechnology improves anywhere from twice the thickness of the average ofthe two material 799 application layerings for the 875R1 and 875R2, forexample to 1.0 mil is disclosed.

[0157] To contrast, the spacing provided by disposed material 801 withpredetermined properties designated as 814C between the interleavedshielded electrode main-body portion 80 s and shielding electrodemain-body portion 81 s noted in FIG. 4A, for example is substantiallygreater, typically on the order of greater than 1.0 mil to 10 mil andeven beyond those ranges, dependent upon application usages.

[0158] As another option for determining a predetermined 814B distancebetween any of the split-electrodes could be considered normally,greater than zero to a range of 25% of the predetermined separationdistance 814A normally found between, any two non-split-shielded andshielding electrodes, or the distance 814A normally found with a priorart, standard electrode spacing utilized by the manufacturers such aseither PhyComp/Yageo of Roermond, The Netherlands and Taiwan or SyferTechnology, Ltd./Nova Cap/Dover Corporation of England and USA.

[0159] At least one of these companies or at least one of their businesssurvivors or one of the parent companies after official filing of thiswriting, could be considered capable of creating a predeterminedsplit-electrode stacking sequences of the new invention with 814Bdistances of the invention considered by them (after the disclosurefiling)to be considered as a ‘gauging’ or comparison as to what isconsidered the standard split-electrode, 814B spacing utilized by thebetween any two split-electrode placements of either a shieldedelectrode grouping groups and sub-groupings or groups or of theshielding, common electrode grouping or groups in split-electrode,layering separations.

[0160] In almost any voltage configuration, for all embodiments in thisdisclosure it is contemplated that various shielded and/or shieldingelectrodes can be predetermined and configured to utilize asignificantly increased of energy portion propagation capacity of anembodiment like 400, for example, and is contemplated in allconfigurations of the predetermined multi-functional energy conditionerco-owned or disclosed, but only for the groups of shielded electrodes orits complementary paired differential, sub-groups of the shieldedelectrodes like 875R for example that are utilizing an electrode,main-body portion 80 that the ‘twin symmetrical’ portions of very thinpredetermined application or predetermined deposit or predeterminedlayering 814B of a material with predetermined properties 801 is desiredfor. This configuration will provide a resulting, insignificant increasein the overall volumetric size of the predetermined multi-functionalenergy conditioner when comparing two units, one configured withslit-electrode technology, the other in standard embodiment shieldedelectrode configurations.

[0161] It is noted that in this disclosure, split-electrode technologyis also contemplated, but in all cases always predetermined as to thefinal make-up of any embodiments manufacture, for all shieldingelectrode with main-body portion 81 is desired.

[0162] There are also certain caveats: NO configurations of the center800/800-IM common, shielding electrode or “x”-IM-common, shieldingelectrodes are desired.

[0163] Another exception to be considered is that for the remainingshielding electrodes, it should be predetermined that either, all ornone of the remaining shielding electrode can be configured in thismanner, not some, unless a pattern of allowed vs. not allowed is donewere the result is a balanced configuration of split/non-split operableto equal sides of the non-split common, shielding electrode.

[0164] This same rule applies for shielded electrodes, as well.Split-electrode-type configuration is also fully contemplated andpreferred in applications of the invention where ONLY the larger,shielding electrodes with electrode main-body portion 81 (with -IMcaveats in place) are configured as split-electrode configuration,however in any case all or none of the shielded/shielding electrodesshould be configured in split-electrode technology, not just ahaphazard, few. Another exception is that a pattern or sequencing ofallowed vs. not allowed is acceptable provided the resultingconfiguration yields a symmetrically balanced, complementary oriented,configuration of split electrodes verses non-split electrodes betweensub-groups of shielded electrodes that are operable and equal in numberwhen divided between the single, non-split, common, centrallypositioned, shielding electrode 800/800-IM shielding electrode orembodiment ‘fulcrum’.

[0165] Predetermined distance 814B or spacing 814B is used withsplit-electrode technology to allow the shielded element to increase adesired energy propagational capacity or capability over that of asingle, shielded electrode, and will with a predetermined grouping ofsplit-electrode shielded elements created for entire shielded electrodemain-body portion 80 s of predetermined sub-groups of complementaryposition shielded electrode pairs that are disclosed or found in anembodiment like 400, for example, and are contemplated in allconfigurations of the predetermined multi-functional energy conditionerdisclosed or co-owned, elsewhere to enhance the whole, predetermined875R shielded electrodes' ability individually, and as a part of agrouping of split-electrode shielding elements that as combined willallow a significantly increased of energy portion propagation capacityand reliability to elements by providing additional useable shieldedelectrode main-body portion 80, surface ‘skin’ (not shown) or area forsuch energy portion propagation situations of situation anomalies suchas when un-planned or planned, voltage pulses/energy surges underunknown situations are operable as in and out rush of energies duringotherwise nominal electrified or energized operations and of which thosesituations as just described can be considered unplanned, system orcircuit energy anomalies.

[0166] Turning to now to FIG. 3C depicting a predetermined, amalgam ofelectrodes and other predetermined element portions and types thatcomprises at least two groups of electrodes, which in turn can befurther discerned as at least three pluralities of electrodes form thetwo groups designated as groups 1, the larger, shielding electrodes andgroups 2, the smaller, shielded electrodes. Groups 2, the smaller,shielded electrodes will further comprise at least two subgroups ofcomplementary oriented, shielded electrodes that are complementarypaired.

[0167] All together, and including the other predetermined elementsand/or limitations are all amalgamated into a whole structure ofelements that are internally relative to each other such that together,will comprise a whole, ‘in-combination invention embodiment’ that ispracticable to be fully operable for predetermined circuit attachmentsand predetermined energized operations.

[0168] However, the elements as an amalgamation can also be furtherdefined, relative to an imaginary intersecting or confluence point of(3) axis or components of spatial positioning relationships, such as X,Y and Z axis relationship of a three-dimensional Cartesian-like,coordinate system (not shown) which will help to determine apredetermined arrangement that allows for discerning of a complementaryand balanced symmetrical amalgamated portion member that is one of 4complementary and balanced symmetrical amalgamated portion members, eachcomprising one of the four quadrants, respectively of 3-dimensionalmatter-occupied spatial positioning relationship that is relative to acomplementary opposite or counter part positioning scheme used upon aquad-sectioned, whole complementary and balanced symmetrical amalgamatedstructure portion divided to a 3-axis systems' central 3-axisintersecting point common to each one of the four members of a3-demensional, 4 quadrant system that comprise it.

[0169] For example, if a desktop is on a X-axis and the walls holding upa ceiling in a room with the desk and its top is considered on a Y-axis,then, if one reaches for a paper directly in front, the arm isconsidered on a Z-axis.

[0170] In addition, any dissection to determine applicability to aquadrant system as far as ‘exact’ amounts must always be taken withmanufacture's limitations to achieve ‘exact’ amounts and that anaveraging of the amounts that allow greater than 0 to 4% of a range willbe considered as ‘practicable or feasibly balanced’ between dividedquadrants.

[0171] To allow for an example in FIG. 3C, an example of an alignment ofpluralities of one of two groups electrodes, the shielded electrodesthat are further segregated into two complementary oriented, sub-groupsof shielded electrodes with main-body portion 80, designated R and L,depicted as 875L, 875R, 865L, 865R, 855L, 855R that are shown shieldedby a portion of 865, 855, 845, 865, 825, 815, and 800/800-IM,respectively, which is a good example of ‘practicable or feasiblebalance’ found among elements within a typical quadrant that, willin-turn, translate into overall complementary quadrant balancedeterminations.

[0172] In FIG. 3C, one will note that allowance of registration oralignment of the 803-electrode edge of each of the main-body portions 80depicted as portions of 875L, 875R, 865L, 865R, 855L, and 855R, to beslightly askew. An area between alignment 3000 of sub-groups 1 andalignment 2000 of sub-groups 2 is area of askew 2500.

[0173] The determinate of the alignment 3000 of sub-groups 1 andalignment 2000 of subgroups 2 balance found between these complementarysub-groups as to overall alignment would be taken as an average for allsub-groups 1 & 2 alignments within an invention embodiment.

[0174] Thus, if the averaging of miss-alignments or area of askew 2500is taken of 3000 position verses the 2000 position from the FIG. 3Cs'alignment sample shown, that number of the range of misalignment or areaof askew 2500 could be determined to be “x” relative to the center pointof the 3-axis system for one quadrant.

[0175] Then the same could be done for FIG. 3Cs' (not shown)counter-part on a complementary, or opposite quadrant portion. It can bestated, that despite the opposite orientation of the position of the 803electrodes edges of 875L, 875R, 865L, 865R, 855L, 855R, in thiscross-section, if the “x” relative to the same center point of the3-axis system is found, as a ‘practicable or feasible balance’ and wouldbe considered in a range found between at least 0 to 4% when comparingtwo complementary quadrants of an invention embodiment.

[0176] Of course, a true average balance or zero is always preferred,but it is never absolute, given various manufacturing tolerances. Use of‘practicable or feasible balance’ or even the term ‘operable balance’ ismore probably as a real-world situation or result, optimisticallybecause a real-world situation or result is the standard, standards arealways continually improved as manufacturing equipment evolves overtime.

[0177] It should be noted that the actual same-size, shieldingelectrodes each with at least an electrode, main-body portion 81,800/800-IM, shielding electrode pathways 815 and 810 and use of theoptional 855/855-IM and 850/850-IM shielding electrodes are all disposedinto a minimum, predetermined positioning shielding-shieldedrelationship to each other is predicated upon a predetermined stackedsequential manufacturing operation and that results in shieldingelectrode pathways 800/8001M, 815 and 810 and the optional 855/855-IMand 850/850-IM same-size, shielding electrodes each with at least anelectrode, main-body portion 81, when used, all respectively, formed aspart of the invention by predetermined stacking manner to be physicallyidentical to each other as members of a selected or predeterminedgrouping of electrodes with respect to being designated or consideredmembers of a shielded grouping of electrodes or members of a shieldinggrouping of electrodes. Identical means to each other and only as ispossible under normal manufacturing operations for such configurationsto be done or achieved.

[0178] In FIG. 1A and FIG. 3 , and for generally all of theconfigurations, the smaller, shielded active electrodes are beingutilized by by-pass energy portion propagations 813A while the singlecommon, shielding electrode groupings or single electrode coupledstructure portions like 800/800-IM shown for both 400 and 4000 arehandling the energy portion propagations designated 813B in the versionshown in FIG. 1A, (which is not an array configuration.) that ispracticable in certain predetermined circuit assemblies, like thoseshown later in FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B, to be operable as a common pathwayof lower impedance for portions of propagating energies found with anenergized circuit system comprising an invention circuit assembly suchas those depicted in FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B.

[0179] These circuit assemblies can be utilized by when there is alwaysto be found at least one smaller sized electrode, main-body portion orportions 80 of the shielded electrodes that will be physically inset toa predetermined distance 806 or 806“X” and others, within the a pairingof electrode, main-body portion 81 of a larger set of common, shieldingelectrode, main-body portion 81 s' with the only exceptions being theelectrode extensions 812 s (if any) of at least one smaller sizedelectrode, main-body portion or portions 80 that are operable foreventual predetermined electrical circuit coupling or conductiveconnection attachment to a point beyond the common aligned perimeteredge of a stacked or parallel grouped, electrode, main-body portions 81of coupled, common, shielding electrodes from which the 812 s arecontiguously and integrally comprised of.

[0180] It should be noted, that same manufacturing process might placean 812 lead electrode portion 799 or electrode lead portion 812 in anintegral or contiguously manner at the same time or process the other799 electrode material for the electrode, main-body portion 80 ismanufactured will apply to an 812-X (not shown) non-integral ornon-contiguously extension portion not placed or positioned at the sametime or during the same process as the other 799 electrode materialportion for the electrode, main-body portion 80. An 812-X portion couldbe applied and amalgamated later in manufacturing of the invention ifthat is practicable or operable for a builder of the invention and itshould be noted that although not shown, this extension type is allowed,but substantially with the understanding that electrical operations thatwould utilize electrode, main-body portion 80 and anon-contiguous/integrally produced and coupled 812-X portion would stillbe conductive in a predetermined manner that would be approximately in asimilar energy propagational condition of a standard 812 to beconsidered substantially operable.

[0181] In substantially all versions of the invention, smaller, shieldedelectrode, main-body portion 80 s or common, shielding electrode,main-body portion 80 s, can be normally defined by flat, planar shapedin surface areas for the electrode, main-body portions, 80 or 81, whichis the general area that can be measured to determine the generalcomposition of size for each respective electrode, main-body portions,80 or 81 when and if needed. This electrode, main-body portion 80 or 81areas will not include any portions considered to be of the 812 or 79Glead electrode portions or 812 or 79G electrode extension portions.

[0182] Because there is no precise way of determining the exact point orportion where each respective electrode, main-body portions, 80 or 81ends and where each respective electrode lead portion 812 or 79G leadelectrode portions or 79G electrode extension portions starts for everytypical individual invention, made, it is safe to say, that electrode,main-body portion 80 and/or 81 areas for typical invention electrodeswill be considered the area that is predetermined to be positioned tocreate a distance or a predetermined average of a predetermined distancelike gap 806 or 806“X” of the shielded electrodes that can be measuredas the area found as the area volume or distance located between thecommon perimeter 805 or the average common perimeter of the outer,shielding electrode edges 805 of the common, shielding electrodestackings of a predetermined number of stacked, shielding electrode,main-body portion 81 and that of the average common perimeter of theouter shielded electrode edges 803 of the shielded electrode stackingsof a predetermined number of stacked, shielded electrode, main-bodyportion 80.

[0183] This axiom would hold true for any number or all of the twogroupings of electrodes found between or as a part of the samepredetermined electrode grouping within an AOC of an inventionembodiment that included the electrode, main-body portion 81 comprisingat least three shielding electrodes of any plurality of the same, foundwithin the invention with respect to the 80 electrode, main-body portioncomprising at that of at least two shielded electrodes.

[0184] Additionally placed, same-size, shielding electrodes each with atleast an electrode, main-body portion 81, or energy pathways with amain-body portion 81 or those marked -IM, as shown in FIG. 2A, forexample are conductively coupled or attached with the inherent central,shared image “0” voltage reference plane 800/800-IM, and willsubstantially increase the shielding effectiveness of an inventionembodiment not only physically, but during energized operationsutilizing predetermined invention attachments made earlier for the laterenergized circuit application. The sandwiching function of these outer,paired active conductive pathways with a main-body portion 81 withrespect to the essential groupings of paired conductive shield-likecontainers 800“X” will substantially aid in total overall invention ineffecting energy propagation portions in a relative manner with respectto externally attached common conductive areas and/or third energypathway which is a common conductive area.

[0185] It should also be noted that offset distance and area 806 of FIG.2A, enables the shielding electrode or shielding electrode pathway800/800-IM with a main-body portion 81 to extend beyond thecomplementary and balanced group alignment of electrode pathways854BB1+854BB2 and 855BT1 and 855BT2, each with a main-body portion 80,so that shielding electrode pathway 800/800-IM is operable to provide ashield against portions of energy flux fields (not shown) which mighthave normally attempted to extend beyond the edge 803 of the electrodepathways 854BB1+854BB2 each, with a main-body portion 80 and 855BT1 and855BT2, each with a main-body portion 80, but were it not for theelectrostatic shielding effect of an energized faraday-like cage systemscomposite of grouped, coupled shielding electrode main-body portion 81stackings or structure 4000, are practicable for the resulting reductionor minimization of near field coupling between shielded, electrodepathways the complementary and balanced group alignment of electrodepathways 854BB1+854BB2 and 855BT1 and 855BT2, each with a main-bodyportion 80.

[0186] The horizontal offset 806 is approximately greater than 0 to atleast 20+ times or even more, dependant upon application situations, aslong as the range selected allows the 806 distance, as manufactured, tobe considered operable for a same-sized, but larger, sandwiching pair ofshielding electrodes with main-body portion 81 s. These shieldingelectrodes with main-body portion 81 s are to be operable for physicaland dynamic electrostatically shielding operations relative to apredetermined shielded electrode with main-body portion 80.

[0187] The predetermined shielded electrode with main-body portion 80,singularly or as part of a predetermined grouping is normally immuredwithin the predetermined sandwiching shielding electrode pair, as justdescribed, and relative to shielded main-body portion 80, grouped (atleast averaged uniformed spacing defined distances common 803 electrodeedges) when not inset again within a sub-group that are together, insetwithin the at least averaged uniformed spacing defined by the electrodeedge 805 perimeter that is common and used to create the 806 distanceinsetting relationship.

[0188] It should be noted that the 806 or 806-AOI distance forsubsequent manufactured invention units could be considered to be whatis not predetermined to be available but can be considered or arrived atan averaging of the plurality of 806 or 806-AOI distances created by anamalgamation of a sampling of invention units with a total number ofeach homogenous grouping of electrode, main-body portions. This 806 or806-AOI distance method could be verified by physical cross section andcan be determined to be an 806 or 806-AOI distance as well for any laterinvention unit batches or as a guide line used and determined to be an806 or 806-AOI distance by the inventor, considering the many variouspredetermined manufacturing tolerances available.

[0189] In many instances with this type of inventor determination or oneused by those skilled in the art, the averaging of any minor 806 or806-AOI size differences (the individual 806 s, on there own, areunimportant) as a grouping in the 806 or 806-AOI distance or areabetween the electrode pathways in a typical sample cross-sectioning aslong as electrostatic shielding function of 401 (not fully shown) forexample, is not compromised.

[0190] In order to connect shielded electrode 855BB or 855BT to energypathways positioned external to 855BB or 855BT (not shown), yet oneither side of the 800B, respectively (not shown), the electrode 809 mayhave one, or a plurality of, portions 812 which extend beyond the edge805 of the shielding electrodes or shielding electrode pathways800/800-IM, 810 and 815 by electrode extensions 812A and 812B which arein-turn conductively connected to conductive pathway material, depositor electrode 890A and 890B respectively which enables the shielded,electrodes 855BB and 855BT to be electrically coupled to active theenergy pathways (not shown) on either side electrically of shieldingelectrode pathway 800/800-IM. Other than the centrally positioned andbalancing 800/800-IM shielding, common electrode, all additionallyplaced shielding electrode energy pathways designated “-IM”, arenormally located outside all groupings of invention electrodes to allowfinal sandwiching, in close proximity, of the -IM's electrodes closely,adjacent and internally positioned shielding electrode neighbor. Thispredetermined placement positioning is for a purpose larger than that ofadding capacitance to UMPCESS embodiments. These additionally placedshielding electrode energy pathways are placed as a set of outer, commonshielding active electrode pair(s) A predetermined, amalgamated,shielding, electrode structure similar to FIG. 1B's 4000 structure or apredetermined shielding electrode architecture comprises an odd integernumber of equal-sized, shielding electrodes, as well as, otherpredetermined elements and/or limitations that are predetermined to formrelative, to each other, a whole in-combination invention, embodimentportion.

[0191] The shielding electrodes are grouped as members of apredetermined groups, that are manufactured into a resulting static butpredetermined, stacked, parallel alignment that includes common edge 805perimeter alignment to each other, such that when each shieldingelectrode is also operable for conductively coupled by predeterminedmanner to each other and practicable for coupling together with apredetermined portion(s) of conductive material portion(s) such as802“X”.

[0192] This predetermined amalgam of shielding conductors areelectrically common as a predetermined whole sub-combination, and thencombined by at least a predetermined process portion with other,predetermined elements and/or limitations, that together as a single,multilayered amalgamation can be combined with other externally foundpredetermined conductive portions as well as circuit portionpredetermined elements to be considered practicable and operable forspecific and unique, in terms of the simultaneous nature and mix of thedynamic energy conditioning functions operable upon portions ofpropagating energy under the influence to some degree of thepredetermined element arrangement configured as a multifunctional energyconditioner structural embodiment, which is shown in a standardconfiguration, for device 400, as depicted, in FIGS. 2A-2C.

[0193] Energy conditioner 400 comprises a predetermined amalgamatedgrouping of pluralities of electrodes that are segregated into apredetermined balanced and symmetrical embodiment stacking comprisingpredetermined relative orientation and positioning relationships bothindividually and as grouped relationships between members of theelectrode groups all additionally relative and predicated upon apredetermined orientation and positioning relationships to a centrallypositioned, shielding electrode 800/800-IM.

[0194] The manufacturing of predetermined pluralities of electrodesbuilding of at least two groups of predetermined electrodes in terms ofeach pluralities relative size relationship to each other in terms ofeach of at least two types of main-body electrode portion either 80 or81 they could be classified under. Each one of two groups of pluralityis comprised of identical sized and identical shaped, main-bodyelectrode portion either 80 or 81, which are at least a minimal criteriaunder which each respective main-body electrode portion either 80 or 81would be classified as a groups for comprising an embodiment likeconditioner 400 for it's final composition.

[0195] Energy conditioner 400 s' final material and number of elementsand the resulting size and shapes as well as quantities and compositionare normally dependant upon the final predetermined configuration byeither a manufacturers' intent or a users' intent by purchase from amanufacturer.

[0196] At least one of the two groups of a planar-shaped electrodes, thelarger shielding electrodes (relative in size as a plurality to thesmaller, but equally-sized members of the shielded groups of electrodemain body-portions), will always total an odd numbered, integer of totalshielding electrodes found within a typical invention embodiment.

[0197] The remaining one of the at least two groups of a planar-shapedelectrodes, the smaller shielded electrodes, (relative in size as aplurality to the larger, but equally-sized members of the shieldinggroups of electrode main-body portions), will always total to an evennumbered, integer of shielded electrodes found in almost any amountwithin a typical invention embodiment.

[0198] The two groups of pluralities of electrode main-body portion 80 sare divided, paired, oriented complementary to each other as they aresegregated onto at least two predetermined groupings of predeterminedpluralities of predetermined electrode main-body portion 80 s available,while the larger, equally-sized members of the remaining one of twogroups of electrodes will be of the shielding groups and in embodiment400 comprises in this instance same-sized and same-shaped members thatcan include shielding electrodes 850/855-IM, 815, 800/800-IM, 810, and850/855-IM, as shown.

[0199] It should also be noted that anywhere in the disclosures'specification (excluding Title, Claims Section), unless the electrodeleads, 79Gs or 812“X”s or similar are specifically called out ordesignated with the following words, singular or plural, the applicants'usage of specific element words of: electrode(s), conductor(s) energypathway(s) are generally relegated to mean these respective speciemembers' specific type of planar-shaped, main-body portion of conductivematerial which is disposed or formed as such and found herein.

[0200] Each usage of these specific element words will or can be furtherdesignated by the functional adjectives: ‘shielded’ or ‘shielding’, whenthese terms are used in-combination with, and/or are referringspecifically and respectively to the static and dynamic functionreceived or performed upon as a member of an identically-sized andidentically-shaped plurality of element members of one of the two groupsof electrode elements designated as operable to either a ‘shielded’ or‘shielding’ function both statically and dynamically (in energizedoperations) as each is relatively comprising at least a main-bodyelectrode portion 8“X”.

[0201] Any relative-sized and relative-shaped relationship difference(s)noted among any of the individual members of a segregated groups ofelectrode, main-body portions 8“X” will be called out specifically, asneeded or found, within each groups or Figure Number to be designated,relative, as its numbered, element type, location, spacing, positioning,orientation to the other element(s) members such a specific element isdepicted with.

[0202] This caveat above as just stated, holds the same for thenumber(s), orientations and positioning (all relative, specifically), asneeded for any of the respective electrode lead portion(s) 79G or 812“X”(if any), found among these specific member electrode portions tofurther provide detail of the embodiments, as needed, as described.

[0203] To begin, an exploded, perspective view of predeterminedmulti-functional energy conditioner 400 is shown in FIG. 2A. Energyconditioner 400 combines and extends the concepts discussed in FIGS. 1Aand 1B and through out the disclosure.

[0204] The horizontal 806 or 806-AOI area/distance can be stated asapproximately between 0 to 20+ times the vertical distance 806 or806-AOI between the electrode pathways 855BB and 855BTs' respectivemain-body portion 80 the shielding electrode or shielding electrodepathway 800/800-IMs' respective main-body portion 81. This offsetdistance 806 or 806-AOI can be optimized for a particular application,but all distances of main-body portion 81 s's overlap of the main-bodyportion 80 s yield a predetermined 806 or 806-AOI distance (and others)among each respective pathways main-body portion that are ideally,approximately the same with in an invention embodiment as predeterminedmanufacturing tolerances allow. It should be noted that the 806 or806-AOI distance for subsequent manufactured invention units could beconsidered to be what is not predetermined to be available but can beconsidered or arrived at an averaging of the plurality of 806 or 806-AOIdistances created by an amalgamation of a sampling of invention unitswith a total number of each homogenous grouping of electrode, main-bodyportions. This 806 or 806-AOI distance method could be verified byphysical cross section and can be determined to be an 806 or 806-AOIdistance as well for any later invention unit batches or as a guide lineused and determined to be an 806 or 806-AOI distance by the inventor,considering the many various predetermined manufacturing tolerancesavailable.

[0205] In many instances with this type of inventor determination or oneused by those skilled in the art, the averaging of any minor 806 or806-AOI size differences (the individual 806 s, on there own, areunimportant) as a grouping in the 806 or 806-AOI distance or areabetween the electrode pathways in a typical sample cross-sectioning aslong as electrostatic shielding function of 401 (not fully shown) forexample, is not compromised.

[0206] It should be noted that the directional orientation of the twopredetermined groupings of electrode, main-body portions, respectivelycan be switched such in final length to width orientations, that forexample 802A and 802B electrode material coupling portions are nowlocated ‘east and west’ (relative to their positioned ‘north and south’,as shown in FIG. 1A, for example), while 890A and 890B electrodematerial coupling portions that could be located ‘north and south’(relative to their positioned ‘east and west’, as shown in FIG. 1A, forexample) and placed in a predetermined circuit and predetermined to becoupled in the same electrically attached, respective manner as FIG. 14Aor FIG. 14B.

[0207] When directional orientation of the two predetermined groupingsof shielding electrodes with main-body portions 80 include, 905R, 885R,865R, 855R, 875R, 895R, and the other grouping of main-body portions isswitched to an opposite final length to width orientation, and appliedin a same predetermined circuit and predetermined to be coupled stillwith the 890A and 890B electrode material coupling portions utilized, asa portion of the primary energy propagational pathway, in wholeinvention embodiment, but now rotated 90 degrees to be configuredrespectively in the same original position like shown in FIG. 1A to beable to be in the same electrically attached, respective manner as shownutilized FIG. 14A. This also goes for 802A and 802B electrode materialcoupling portions to still utilized in a non-primary energypropagational pathway usage that was shown utilized by 802A and 802Belectrode material coupling portions in the same electrically attached,respective manner as shown utilized FIG. 1 or FIG. 6A. In BOTHorientations or width to length positionings the electrodes utilized inan active, primary energy propagational pathway usage will alwaysmaintain any, one, ½, of a pairing of smaller, main-body portion 80inset within than any one, of the larger main-body portion 81 electrodeperforming a shielding function, both physically and electrostaticallyduring energization in a FIG. 14A predetermined circuit scheme orsimilar.

[0208] To restate, as long as the smaller, of the two electrode,main-body portion groupings are operable to handle the main circuitpropagational pathway functions, while the larger, common, shieldingelectrodes are utilized in a more passive, propagational function manneras a third pathway for various circuit attachments like depicted in FIG.14A, or similar the invention is fully operable for the primaryshielding function of electrostatic shielding used very effectively forconditioning portions of energy as the applicant is disclosing and asthe applicant is contemplating.

[0209] Less desirable, but still acceptable, is the attachment mannerthat circuit usage that allows the common, shielding electrodes to beutilized as a main, or primary energy propagation return or sourcepathway (not shown). This is because when the shielding electrode,main-body portion 81 of each shielding electrode 855/855-IM, 815,800/800-IM, 810, and 850/850-IM like that in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B areconfigured second or first energy pathways within a circuit (not shown),the primary shielding function of electrostatic shielding is not used aseffectively for parasitic portions suppression or conditioning portionsof energy used by a complete working Whole embodiments found within thedisclosure will all relate to each other to some degree such that ainvention+predetermined element portions in-combination are configuredas a static structure used to create a unique dynamic result whenoperable in a predetermined circuit or circuit assembly can each bedepicted as comprising a predetermined, balanced, but off-settingover-all structures.

[0210] Herein, the principle of complementarity is taken as an assertionthat there symmetrical portions of opposing dynamic quantities i.e.complementary dynamic energy quantities, in the sense that thesesymmetrical portions of opposing dynamic quantities i.e. complementarydynamic energy quantities can be described as a whole only to a combinedenergy conditioning function they seem to produce in terms of circuitportion performance located near or within the AOC of a predeterminedinvention in predetermined circuit attachment with energization that isunique and only found or can be seen as possible but from apredetermined invention, its variants or co-owned embodiments,

[0211] Thus, it can be seen that when taken together as a family, aninvention and to some degree its variants will be seen as able toperform this simultaneous energy conditioning function within apredetermined circuit arrangement, exclusive of all other, non-owned,prior art, in terms of the exclusive state of performance of aninvention configured circuit portion that is so efficient that currentstate of the art, Time Domain Refractometery equipment and fixturing arecurrently just outside the range of truly measuring within a degree ofcertainty as to an invention, coupled-circuit portion configurations'true energy efficiency performance below 10 Pico seconds with assuranceof accuracy. (as this disclosure is submitted) These energy portions ofthese complementary dynamic energy quantities will come togethersimultaneously within a range of space considered by the observer to beas an ‘area of operable for dynamic interaction, confluence orconvergence” or AOI and produce the exponential results over that of thelimited prior art in dynamic applications.

[0212] Predetermined distances or areas 806, 814 and 814F which areoutlined by the various predetermined alignments of selected orpredetermined perimeter portions of various electrode and materialelements that can make up a predetermined cage-like shielding electrodestructure. These defined areas that use perimeters include, but are notlimited to electrode, main-body portion 81 of all of the shieldingelectrodes found comprising a common, shielding electrode structure like4000 in FIG. 1B and which will normally utilize this type of placementpositioning of the common, shielding electrode structure in apredetermined, relative manner, with respect to the area or distancedimensions that are normally predetermined or found with respect to thesmaller, uniformly inset, shielded, electrode, main-body portion 80 ofthe shielded, electrodes, shown in FIG. 2A. A physical, Faradaycage-like effect or a physical, electrostatic shielding effect functionwith electrically charged containment is used upon portions of externaland internally generated, energy parasitics, portions of which are foundpropagating upon the various, smaller, shielded electrodes. These activeconductive energy pathways will normally have concentrations of theseenergy parasitics located near the 803 electrode edges of the shielded,electrode, main-body portion(s) 80 that are now contained or immuredfrom escape by the predetermined inset distance parameters relative tothe shielding electrode, main-body portion(s) 81 that substantiallyprevent escape of local energy parasitics as well as substantiallypreventing entry of foreign or non-localized energy parasitics createdelsewhere and the coupling of either groups of energy parasitics to thesame shielded, electrode, main-body portion(s) 80, in the case offoreign parasitics, that are substantially prevented from entry)adjacent, shielded, electrode, main-body portion(s) 80 neighbor(s).

[0213] This active, electrostatic parasitic control system issubstantially the result of a combination of predetermined limitationsor requirements of specific elements that included, but are not alllimited to:

[0214] These requirements listed above represent a substantial portionof the minimal requirements needed to provide both a physical shieldingprotection of the smaller, shielded electrodes' main-body portion 80 asa group or groups, but also represent a substantial portion of theminimal requirements needed as well for providing active, electrostaticshielding protection functions to portions of energy parasitics foundalong the smaller, shielded, electrode, main-body portion 80's as agroup or groups from externally generated energy parasitics attemptingcoupling to these same active, and smaller, conductive energy pathways.

[0215] These requirements represent a substantial portion of the minimalrequirements needed to provide during energization, a minimization ofenergy parasitics is attributed to the smaller, shielded electrodes'main-body portion 80 as a group or groups by utilizing a predeterminedpositioning or predetermined insetting of the smaller electrode,main-body portion 80 as a group or groups within the area foot print orthe electrode, main-body portion 81 of a sandwiching shieldingelectrode(s), both individually and as a grouping for the inventionembodiments.

[0216] The portioned amount and predetermined number of specificmaterials, elements and particularly predetermined numbers andarrangements of the various electrodes are normally evenly, or arebalanced or divided between and positioned in a predetermined manner onopposite sides of the critical, centrally positioned shielding electrode800/800-IM and its' electrode, main-body portion 81.

[0217] For this reason, variations of the minimum invention arecertainly practicable to be operable for receiving, additional shieldingelectrode energy pathways that include the electrode, main-body portion81 surrounding of the combination of a shared centrally positionedconductive energy pathway 800/800-IM surrounding a predeterminedgrouped, predetermined placement of center conductive energy pathway anda predetermined plurality of paired, smaller by-pass or shieldedelectrodes with at least one main-body portion 80 created duringmanufacturing or employment of the invention to be able to exploit theincreased inherent electrostatic shielding function created duringenergization by a predetermined optimized conductive attachment orcoupling of the Faraday cage-like electrodes' main-body portion 81comprising a substantial material portion of the single shieldingstructure.

[0218] This allows the Faraday cage-like electrodes' main-body portion81 comprising a substantial material portion of the single shieldingstructure to also be practicable to facilitate surge dissipation towithin and/or to any external common conductive area portion or commonenergy pathway portion the shielding electrode structure is operable inits attachment to be considered electrically operable or conductivelycoupled to these portions in a predetermined, common manner to providean increase or enhancement of not only a low impedance effect of thecommon, shielding electrode structure and its' external commonconductive area portion or common energy pathway portion, but its' useas a primary routing pathway beyond an invention AOC, itself, which isnot considered part of the active, smaller, shielded electrode pathways,as found within the AOC for many of the invention embodiments.

[0219] These ‘invention+predetermined’ element portions in-combination'sare all considered balance and 3-demensionally symmetrical using thecentral and shared common, shielding electrode or conductive pathway800/800-IM as it physically is dividing various predetermined elementswithin the invention embodiments.

[0220] Energization of area AOI-69 zone of (2) various identicalembodiments when compared as a whole structure with their variousamalgamated predetermined invention elements will have siimalar dynamicrelationship characteristics to each other for the various energyportions and propagational confluences that will allow (usually in termsof either observable or measurable or lack of observable or measurable)a repeatable and sustainable, optimized, or harmonious or even a ‘least,disruptive’ dynamic confluence or complementary energy portioninter-actions (that could include mutual energy portion coupling and/orcancellation or enhancements) within the comparative inventionembodiments in predetermined configurations that will be measuredsubstantially the same relative to each other and each relativelymeasured against a co-owned, Norm/Standard with the preferred configuredAOI-69 zone elements when it too, is also placed into an identicalpredetermined circuit configuration and energized for measurementstandard to which the various embodiments as depicted and that could becompared to.

[0221] Connection of the internally placed shielding electrodes with oneanother and the external energy pathway not of the at least twodifferential conductive pathways can be used a as a non-active energypathway that can provide a reference voltage to the circuitry containedwithin the invention that allows for predetermined low impedance pathwayutilized by the respective portions of the differential pathwaypropagating energies to utilize in a complementary and balanced mannerwith respect to one another and to the benefit of the circuit systemefficiency over that of similar prior art circuitry.

[0222] The invention architecture when combined in a predeterminedmanner with separate and multiple circuitry pathways for energypropagation will allow portions of energies propagating along thecontained circuitries a jointly and simultaneously shared ability forportions of these energies to utilize a third but common energy pathwaycreated by the common interconnection of the shielding electrodepathways into a shielding structure along with this shielding structuresexternal conductive attachments to the same electrically potentialedcommon conductive area or pathway not of the differential energypathways. This separate but common and commonly shared third pathwayacts as not only a voltage divider for energies found in predeterminedenergized circuitry, but due to its actual physical and electricalplacement locations in a normally larger energized circuitry. Thisphysical and electrical location can best be described as a shieldinginterpositioning and electrically common placement between at least aset of paired and oppositely co-acting, differential conductive energypathways during energized operations.

[0223] The separate third pathway also becomes simultaneously utilizedand shared as a common voltage reference node with respect to not onlythe multiple circuits operating within the invention and/or its AOC butat least a set of paired and oppositely co-acting, differentialconductive energy pathways of the same circuit during energizedoperations, as well.

[0224] The various energy conditioning functions performed by theinvention in-combination with other predetermined elements when coupledinto a predetermined circuit for predetermined energized operation willalso depend upon the predetermined coupling or attachment choices madefor the predetermined attachment portions operable of invention elementsthat are methodologies employed by a user. These coupling or attachmentmethodologies with any associated materials are predetermined operationsthat could include, but are not limited to, such thing or methods assoldering, re-flux soldering, tension attachment(s) and are revealed asbut a small portion of common industry coupling or attachmentsprocedures, materials or utilized techniques or methodologies that areeither practical or practicable to a potential user of the inventioncombination for predetermined circuit inclusion of the device.

[0225] At least a predetermined portion of one or more of the variousenergy conditioning functions derived by the inventions' operation aspart of a predetermined circuit or predetermined application in apredetermined energized operation can be measured or observed bypredetermined placement within a predetermined test circuit or eventested as part of an actual predetermined application circuit portion.

[0226] The ‘invention+predetermined elements that are in-combination’are practicable to form an embodiment that is operable for a portion ofconfined, groupings of dynamic relationships at least taking placebetween/amongst propagating, energy portions that are utilizing portionsof the invention+predetermined elements, in-combination.

[0227] These dynamic relationships at least taking place between/amongstpropagating, energy portions will develop for conditioning variousenergy portions in propagation are as a result in substantial part, dueto at least a predetermined, sequential manufacturing operation used toform a predetermined embodiment's static invention structure ofinvention+predetermined elements, in-combination which BOTH comprisepredetermined material portions that will also include variouspredetermined spatial relationships or limitations disclosed. This meansthat the predetermined spatial relationships or limitations such aspredetermined distance-relative proximities, predeterminedrelative-positional orientations, as well as, predetermined materialcompositions and intermixed positionings are all substantially relatedto these various predetermined material portions and the invention thatcomprise the final structure, that will be amalgamated as thepredetermined relationships within the invention to combine from theseparts into a whole static structure and will be responsible insubstantial part to the results received by a new user to the inventionas compared to any other possible non-owned, prior art device by themanner and effect upon dynamic energy propagations, confluence,conditioning and interplay a predetermined area of interaction(s) (AOI)or local within the invention AOC portion plays with a predetermined andenergized, circuit portion.

[0228] In dynamic operation, with its various energy propagationportions utilizing the ‘invention+predetermined elements that arein-combination’ will propagate within the confines of a 3-demensionalspace or area created within the AOC that is called area of interaction(AOI). Propagations will occur in a relative in terms of symmetrical,asymmetrical, and complementary, but shielded/non-shielded confluencehierarchy progression of energy. The and the interrelational-matrixstructure influences and is formed initially as static structure in asymmetrical, hierarchy progression appears so in a static structuralstate.

[0229] It should be apparent that the aligned, the invention isdependant upon predetermined, symmetrical balanced arrangements of theinvention elements that are predetermined in both how they are arrangedand positioned on either side of a centrally positioned shieldingelectrode. Although in some variants in cases where a bias or unbalancedportion of the invention as a grouping might be desired, the inventions'portioned balance, dynamic function is dependant upon what the staticstructure result reveals and is always dependant upon predeterminedstatic structural AOC balance and static structural AOC symmetry inelement portions of materials, positionings, shapes, thickness or sizes,shielding.

[0230] With Prior Art, emphasis is placed on the need for a balancedcircuit arrangement to be in place before any energy conditioners arepredetermined and coupled for usage. But for the new invention thiscriteria is minimal, rather the invention is more dependant upon itsstructure internally, for yielding an optimal dynamic result to anunbalanced or balanced circuit as part of an energized circuit assembly.Portioned balance is a dynamic function the invention offers to activeload within an operating circuit. The inventions' portioned balance,dynamic function is dependant upon what the static structure arrangementresult will reveal at energization and the predetermined staticstructural AOC balance and static structural AOC symmetry in elementportions of materials, positionings, shapes, thickness or sizes,shielding as well as the static conductive coupling arrangement when thedevice is energized is more determinant in the quality of the portionedbalance dynamic function in terms of the resulting dynamic AOIbalance/symmetry than it is the other external circuit assembly portionsfound beyond the AOC.

[0231] It is very important to note that in dynamic circuit operation itis more important for the internal circuit network portion of the AOCstructures and coupling mechanisms be of balanced arrangement, over all,than it is required that the portions of circuitry beyond the inventionsbe propagating energy in a balance manner.

[0232]FIG. 4 is a cross-section view of device 399 which is apredetermined, stacking sequence of a currently owned multi-layer,shielding electrode architecture with differential shielded electrodeswith various predetermined selected areas distance relationships betweenpredetermine electrodes and other elements. FIG. 4A presents 69 as anideal AOI.

[0233]69-AOI is the area recognized statically, as well as dynamically,where the unique energy conditioning is practicable to take placesimultaneously within this area and cannot be repeated identicallywithout this type of arrangement, according to at least the prescribeddisclosed herein.

[0234] Some of these principals comprise; a predetermined positioningand predetermined static sequence arrangement of each individualelectrodes' main-body portions, 80 and/or 81 is in its relative finalpositioning to or from the other adjacent, individual electrodes'main-body portions, 80 and/or 81 and their own, predeterminedpositioning sequence has been created; the predetermined, from alldirection, distance arrangements of each individual electrodes'main-body portions, 80 and/or 81 edges, relative to the predetermineddistance arrangements of to, or from, the other electrodes' main-bodyportions, 80 and/or 81 edges or edge groupings of electrodes' main-bodyportions, 80 and/or 81 edges; the predetermined, (relative to and/orfrom many, predetermined directions), distance arrangements of eachindividual electrodes' relative predetermined, (relative to and/or frommany, predetermined directions), distance arrangement to or from thefinal invention physical AOC boundary or casement 817 edges, ifapplicable; the predetermined numbers of electrode element groups of thevarious groups of (shielding and shielded) electrodes are present; thepredetermined physical balancing effect of predetermined placement ofequally divided invention elements on either planar-shaped side thecentrally located and equally shared common, shielding electrode800/800-IM that results in a predetermined parallel sandwiching of thecentrally located and equally shared common, shielding electrode800/800-IM by these elements are in place and positioned correctly; thepredetermined number and positioning of the various electrode leadextensions 812“X” or 79G“X” (not shown) used relative to each other andtheir predetermined contribution as a portion of the whole invention toa circuit attachment or coupling for energization are, present but notlabeled; energization of the smaller, shielded electrodes forutilization of energy propagations is practicable; predeterminedconductive coupling of the larger same-size, shielding electrodes eachwith at least an electrode, main-body portion 81, to each other, as agroup by 802A and 802B is practicable but not shown predeterminedconductive coupling of the larger shielding electrode grouping (whichcan be considered one shielding structure 4000, for example) topredetermined coupling or attachment points external to the inventionAOC are practicable but not shown; the confluence of at least threeconductive energy pathways from a varied direction on the compass thatcan be practicable for internal placements as described, and others notshown.

[0235] Because the conductive shielding structure is formed from an oddinteger number of shielding electrodes, the total shielding electrodestructure possesses a balancing effect to the contained, same-sized,shielded electrodes each with at least an electrode, main-body portion80, or differential electrodes that will with predetermined circuitattachment of the invention at energization be both practicable andoperable to allow both complementary and simultaneous either full forpartial electrostatic shielding of portions of propagating energies.

[0236] Thus, in all embodiments, the final integer number of shieldingelectrodes will always be an odd-numbered integer equal to or largerthan 3. In all embodiments, the final integer number of shielded,electrodes will always be at least an even-numbered integer equal to orlarger than 2. In all embodiments, the final integer number of shieldingelectrode cage-like structures 800“X” will always be at least aneven-numbered integer equal to or larger than 2. In all embodiments, thefinal integer number of shielded, electrodes +number of shieldingelectrode cage-like structures 800“X”+ number of shielding electrodeswill always be at least an odd-numbered integer equal to or larger than7.

[0237] It should also be noted that various combinations of minimumstacking arrangements like those shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B and FIG. 2C couldbe combined by predetermined manner and with minimal changes other thanallowing for the adjustments in various stacking engagements toaccommodate the shielding separations and various adjacent placementsneeded to configure a final new amalgamation comprising and FIG. 12A andFIG. 12B with FIGS. 2A, 2B and FIG. 2C, for example.

[0238] In previous embodiments, grouped electrodes were conductivelyinterconnected by an external electrode band such as 809A, 809B fordifferential electrodes and 802A and 802B for common, shieldingelectrodes. In other embodiments of the present invention, one or moreof the grouped electrodes are inset from the external electrode bandsuch that it is “floating”, or not directly connected by a terminal orlead portion.

[0239] Referring now to FIGS. 5A-5D, alternate embodiments of thepresent invention are shown including the use conductive vias 1000 toconductively interconnect two or more electrodes of a single electrodegrouping. The vias 1000 extend perpendicularly through the materialseparating the electrodes to conductively connect the electrodegroupings.

[0240] In FIG. 5A, a common, shielding electrode 815 positioned onmaterial 815P includes electrode lead portions 79G for electricalconnection to other common, shielding electrode groupings (not shown). Asecond common, shielding electrode 815BF, formed on material 815F1P ispositioned directly below common, shielding electrode 815 by a distance814A. Second common, shielding electrode 815BF does not includeelectrode lead portions 79G and is considered to be ‘floating’. Vias1000 are used to provide a conductive pathway through material 815P toallow common, shielding electrode 815BF to have an electrical connectionto not only common, shielding electrode 815, but also other common,shielding electrode groupings. The concept is further shown in across-sectional view with regard to FIG. 5B which is identical to FIG.2B except that common, shielding electrode 815BF is shown inset fromcommon, shielding electrode 815 by distance 804 and from embodiment edgeportion 817 by distance 804C and vias 1000 are shown conductivelyconnecting common, shielding electrode 815BF to common, shieldingelectrode 815.

[0241] The concept is also applicable to differential electrodegroupings as well and is shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D. In the upperelectrode grouping 403A, differential electrode 855BT-1 is sandwiched byfloating differential electrodes 855BT1-AF and 855BT1-BF. Vias 1000 areused to conductively connect the smaller floating differentialelectrodes 855BT1-AF and 855BT1-BF to differential electrode 855BT-1.The concept is further shown in a cross-sectional view with regard toFIG. 5D. An alternate embodiment of a grouping is shown in the lowerelectrode grouping 403B in FIG. 5C. In the differential electrodegrouping 403B, each differential electrode extends to the end of theirrespective support plate material for conductive connection to anexternal electrode band (not shown). The conductive interconnection ofdifferential electrode grouping 403B is supplemented by vias 1000 withallow alternate conductive interconnection pathways within thedifferential electrode grouping 403B. It should also be noted that vias1000 also enhance the structural integrity of the attached electrodegroupings and of the energy conditioner as a whole.

[0242] The predetermined multi-functional energy conditioner 506 shownin FIGS. 7A and 7B is identical to predetermined multi-functional energyconditioner 505 of FIGS. 6A and 6B except that the outer shieldingelectrodes 850/850-IM and 855/855-IM have been eliminated. Thispredetermined configuration will still maintain the shielding integrityprovided predetermined shielding electrode structure's electrostaticshielding functions used upon the predetermined groupings of shieldedelectrodes.

[0243] The predetermined multi-functional energy conditioner 501 shownin FIGS. 8A and 8B is identical to predetermined multi-functional energyconditioner 400 of FIGS. 2B and 2C except that two additionalpredetermined common, shielding electrodes 800T and 800B have beenadded. Common, shielding electrode 800T is positioned above shieldingelectrode 800/800-IM and shielding electrode 800B is predetermined to bepositioned inset and below shielding electrode 800/800-IM.

[0244] Predetermined shielding electrodes 800T and 800B are generallyparallel and predetermined when stacked in a predetermined sandwichingmanner relative to shielding electrode 800/800-IM. It is also noted thatpredetermined shielding electrodes 800T and 800B comprise apredetermined and smaller main-body electrode portion 80 such that eachis inset equally with respect to shielding electrode 800/800-IM. Aspreviously mentioned, the predetermined insetting relationship of theshielding electrodes 800T and 800B helps reduce commonly located stressconcentrations that form aligned stacked vertically over each other withnormally identically aligned, main-body electrode portion 80 s'electrode edges during operation of the energy conditioner within apredetermined circuit.

[0245] Predetermined insetting of various predetermined electrodes alsoserve the purpose of producing material stresses on portions of material801 comprising predetermined properties that could be of a dielectricmaterial that would other wise be vulnerable to develop in certain 15instances, stress damage that would possibly concentrate along perimeteror electrode edges 805 or 803 respectively, in certain predeterminedelectrodes stacking sequences that would result in an embodiment likethat shown in FIGS. 5C thru 11B where the results of certainpredetermined, electrodes stacking sequences beyond two identical groupsmembers as shown in FIGS. 5C thru 11B and specifically, like 855BT1-ASB,855BT1 and 855BT1-BSB of FIG. 5C for example, are not respectivelyadjacent or sandwiched by at least a normally interposing shieldingelectrode.

[0246] In certain, predetermined circuit configurations theseembodiments would be more vulnerable to energy portion concentrationsthen they would other wise be in two-in-a-row-same groups stackings asthey would be in three-in-a-row-same groups stacking arrangements.

[0247] Taking this concept further, predetermined multi-functionalenergy conditioner 502 shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B is identical topredetermined multi-functional energy conditioner 501 of FIGS. 8A and 8Bexcept that the shielded electrodes 855BT-2 and 854BB-2 had beenreplaced by smaller shielded electrodes 855BT-2S and 854BB-2S which areof a smaller main-body electrode portion 80 such that they are insetfrom the rest of the shielded electrodes as the shown in FIG. 9B. Again,the insetting of the electrodes helps reduce stress concentrations atthe electrode edges during operation of the energy conditioner.

[0248] In another embodiment variation, the predeterminedmulti-functional energy conditioner 503 shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B isidentical to predetermined multi-functional energy conditioner 501 ofFIGS. 8A and 8B except that the outer shielding electrodes 850/850-IMand 855/855-IM have been eliminated.

[0249] In another embodiment variation, the predeterminedmulti-functional energy conditioner 504 shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B isidentical to predetermined multi-functional energy conditioner 502 ofFIGS. 9A and 9B except that shielded electrodes 855BT-2S and 854BB-2Sare not only of a smaller main-body electrode portion 80 such that theyare inset from the rest of the shielded electrodes as the shown in FIG.9B, but they are also of a smaller length such that they are inset fromthe rest of the shielded electrodes as the shown in FIG. 9A.Accordingly, three of the four shielded electrode edges of shieldedelectrodes 55BT-2S and 854BB-2S are inset from the shielded electrodeedges of the remainder of shielded electrodes 55BT-1 and 854BB-1.

[0250] In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C, shielded electrodes855BT1-AF, 855BT1, and 855BT1-BF were interconnected with paired,conductive vias 1000 or paired internal, electrode coupling portions1000 which are operable for common electrical coupling or aselectrically common connection of otherwise, ‘floating’ shieldedelectrodes 855BT1-AF and 855BT1-BF, respectively to shielded electrode855BT1. Shielded electrodes of 855BT1-ASB, 855BT1, and 855BT1-BSB usingthe normal, designated 890“X”-type, coupling connections or attachments(not shown) could also make use of the at least paired, conductive vias1000O's (or the at least paired, internal, electrode coupling portions1000), internal electrode portion interconnecting function for providingadditional structural integrity beyond that of the horizontal supportfunction offered support function offered by the 801 material portions'layering.

[0251] Paired, conductive vias 1000 or paired internal, electrodecoupling portions 1000 would offer and provide a vertically securedinternal electrode portion interconnecting function provided in additionto that horizontal support function offered by adjacent material 801 tothese respective electrode portions found within a predeterminedmulti-functional energy conditioner like 403. It is noted that theactual methods used to form or dispose of the paired, conductive vias1000 or paired internal, electrode coupling portions 1000 between anyrespective electrodes or the coupling of units 1000 to each electrodeare disclosed to be claimed, only the result is disclosed to be claimedby the applicant in combination with co-owned universal cage-likecommon, shielding electrode shielding structure and other elements, asdisclosed.

[0252] In a similar manner, an alternate embodiment to the shown inFIGS. 12A and 12B. The predetermined multi-functional energy conditioner506 shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B is identical to predeterminedmulti-functional energy conditioner 400 of FIGS. 2B and 2C except thatthe energy conditioner 506 has ‘floating’ shielded electrodes 855BT1-AFand 855BB1-AF which are electrically connected to shielded electrodes855BT1 and 855BB1, respectively, by a plurality of paired, conductivevias 1000 or paired internal, electrode coupling portions 1000.

[0253] Still, another embodiment shown in FIG. 13, paired, conductivevias 1000 or paired internal, electrode-coupling portions 1000 are usedwith both shielded electrodes and shielding electrodes. Thepredetermined multi-functional energy conditioner 507 shown in FIGS. 13Aand 13B is identical to predetermined multi-functional energyconditioner 506 of FIGS. 12A and 12B except that shielding electrode 815is electrically connected by a plurality of paired, conductive vias 1000or paired internal, electrode coupling portions 1000 to a ‘floating’common, shielding electrode 815BF and that shielding electrode 810 iselectrically connected by a plurality of paired, conductive vias 1000 orpaired internal, electrode coupling portions 1000 to a ‘floating’common, shielding electrode 81 OTF.

[0254] In this embodiment 507, the extensive use of paired, conductivevias 1000 or paired internal, electrode coupling portions 1000 again,enhances and will provide a vertically secured internal electrodeportion interconnecting function in addition to that horizontal supportfunction offered by adjacent material 801 comprising predeterminedfunctions to these respective electrode portions found within apredetermined multi-functional energy conditioner like 507.

[0255] As a final note to predetermined non-heterogeneous insettingrelationships normally found within an embodiment such as FIG. 2As;embodiment 400, a combination of predetermined non-heterogeneousinsetting relationships with the usage of paired, conductive vias 1000or paired internal, electrode coupling portions 1000 enhancements thatare also providing a vertically secured, internal, electrode portioninterconnecting function that is well suited for certain circuitassembly configurations where usage of an isolated third energy pathwayis not possible and where the need to utilize the larger shieldingelectrodes as direct feed-thru conductors in anyone direction, makesthis configuration well suited for that type of circuit assembly.

[0256] Referring now to FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B which shows a basiccircuit assembly or circuit arrangement 6900 that is practicable forsimultaneously maintaining operable interaction between (3) electricallyisolated, energy pathways that will yield sustained and harmoniousenergy portion confluences and interactions. Portions of energiesutilizing these predetermined (3) energy pathways are depicted in FIGS.14A and 14B as energy-in pathway 303, energy-return pathway 309, andthird energy pathway and voltage reference 314 with optional vias 315 orlow impedance energy pathway and voltage reference 314 with optionalvias 315, respectively.

[0257] It is noted that depicted is a basic circuit assembly 6900, whichis not the only circuit assembly foreseen or allowable, by theapplicant. Many types of circuit portions and components could becoupled and utilizing portions of the (3) energy isolated pathways asjust said, along the way to other elements and componentry will becontemplated by the applicant. These circuit assemblies or just circuitportions can include, but will not be limited to; energy distributionnetworks, data or signal energy networks; all of which can comprise amultitude of possible circuit assemblies configurations that areoperable or practicable for conditioner 400 inclusion.

[0258] A closer depiction of FIG. 14A shows an energized circuit portion6901 of FIG. 14B comprising an embodiment 400 of FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C, oreven any one of the predetermined electrode layered embodiments,disclosed herein, as well as the co-owned embodiments disclosed in otherfilings, that are known as the discrete versions of predeterminedelectrode layered embodiments practicable or operable for sustainedcircuit energy conditioning. (co-owned embodiments are not shown). Forexample, the energized circuit portion of a larger electronic circuitapplication operating with this circuit assembly as a whole, or as atleast with this circuit assembly configured could easily have 6901 as acomponent test fixture or component test circuit (both specificallynot-shown). Following a predetermined insertion and coupling which thenincludes a subsequent energization, the energized circuit portion 6901will be operable for a unique, multi-functional, simultaneous energyconditioning combination function that is only found in an energizedresult unique of the disclosed, with these predetermined electrodelayered embodiments or with the other previously disclosed embodimentmembers comprising this family of predetermined energy conditioning andshielding electrode structure embodiments in combination with otherpredetermined elements.

[0259] Multi-functional, simultaneous energy conditioning combinationfunction results from predetermined coupling or attachments of an energyconditioner like 400 operable for conductive attachment withpredetermined circuit portions that when energized can be observed bypredetermined measurement operations elsewhere, performing the same typeof energy conditioning upon portions of energies that include, but arenot limited to, at least predetermined portions of sustained, commonmode and differential mode energy filtering utilizing predeterminedinternal, capacitance characteristics manufactured by predeterminedmanner, as part of a finished structure like 400.

[0260] The circuit portion 6901 is a coupled passive energy conditioningnetwork that is part of a larger circuit assembly 6900 and is utilizedin an energized manner after operable attachment or coupling ofpredetermined conductive material coupling portion(s) 315 are made forpredetermined conductive portion conductive coupling of conditioner 400an application of predetermined conductive material coupling portion(s)315 applied by standard means of attachment or method operations knownin the art such as soldering, mechanical coupling techniques such asresistive fit, tension fit or other standard means of attachment orattachment method or operations known in the art.

[0261] Almost any embodiment disclosed herein, as well as any of thesame family members of the other, co-owned embodiments previouslydisclosed, are practicable to be made operable by a predetermined mannerfor usage during predetermined electrical operations. This usage cancomprise predetermined and conductively coupled, conductive materialstructure pairs 890A and 890B each conductively attached by material 315to either first or second energy pathway, respectively as long as eitherone of conductive material structure pairs 890A and 890B is coupled toan external conductive portion 304 or 310 respectively.

[0262] Contiguous wrap-around (if used but not shown here)centralshielding electrode material portions 802 or the separate 802A and 802Bor 802“x” portions are practicable for conductively coupled connectionby electrode connection material portions such as 315 material tocontiguous conductive planar portion 314 so that a combined physical anddynamic shielding function is operable at energization relative toproviding the combined static and dynamic shielding functionsimultaneously to portions of energy propagations located along portionsof the internally located (within 400), and shielded complementaryoriented/positioned, bypass electrode pairings, which are alsorespectively, conductively coupled to electrode material portions 890Aand 890B. Electrode material portions 890A and 890B are coupled toenergy pathways 303 and 309, respectively, each isolated between thethird conductive pathway provided by the electrically coupled electrodematerial portions 802A, 802B, then by electrode connection materialportions 315 to contiguous conductive planar portion 314 and on, ifneeded to 315 conductive via portions to common conductive areapredetermined (not shown) or a operable portion utilized as a commonconductive portion (not shown) operable for common circuit voltagereferencing (not shown) relative to the circuit assembly 6900's' dynamicoperations and elements that are operating. This third pathway can alsobe any other common conductive portion operable for providing the samecommon circuit voltage referencing function like an area (not shown)coupled to optional chassis or earth ground, in some cases.

[0263] The conductive coupling as described for the predeterminedportions and the circuit pathways 303 and 309 are practicable to provideportions of propagating energies found within the circuits, aalternative, low impedance node or third pathway that is not by way ofdirect conductive connection from either first energy pathway 303(energy-in pathway 303) or second energy pathway 309, (energy returnpathway 309) or any direct conductive connection or alternateenergy-return pathway. This third pathway when conductively coupled toembodiment 400 during energized operations provides or allows a lowimpedance pathway alternative for detrimental energy portions or circuitenergy portion disturbances, such as circuit noise, , an alternative,low impedance node or third pathway as an additional routing forpropagation. It can also provide return of detrimental energy portionsor circuit energy portion disturbances, such as circuit noise to back toa source as described in Kirchoff's Law that is not needed 301 as analternative, low impedance node or third pathway as an additionalrouting for propagation.

[0264] This third pathway is also operable because of the coupled,shielding, common electrode structure like a portion of 4000 of FIG. 1Band FIG. 2A that is comprising at least shielding, common electrodeswith main-body portion 81 coupled together and operable as a singlestructure portion with conductive attachment to conductive portion 314as part of a internal conductive extension of an external commonconductive area such as contiguous conductive planar portion 314 and itscoupled pathways, beyond.

[0265] The third energy pathway is isolated from contiguous electricalattachment to 303 and 309 energy pathways and is operable as a commonpathway of least impedance for portions of complementary, propagatingenergy portion field flux that appear as a result of circuit 6900 s'energization, and will also provide energy pathway blocking functions,surge portion suppression functions, as well as facilitate closepropagations of complementary and mutual coupling of propagating energyportions that result in mutual cancellations.

[0266] An instantaneous, sustained complementary, dynamic polaritycharge switching function is operable for a predetermined dynamiccircuit operation and will comprise part of the electrically commonshielding electrodes' dynamic operations, aid in circuit energy portiondecoupling of dynamic propagations, as well as, complementary energyportion bypass operations which are all operable and influenced to somedegree directly as a result of the presence of a third energy pathwayportion, not of the other two energy pathway portions 303 and 309 (whichare in electrically complementary or opposite operation with respect toeach other and simultaneously) with an apparent, identical internallyprovided mutual voltage reference found along the shielding, thirdenergy pathway adjacent to each of the remaining shielded portions ofenergy pathways.

[0267] A voltage dividing function is also available and can be used inan energization after a predetermined coupling comprising embodiment 400is made into circuit portion 6901, as part of circuit assembly 6900.

[0268] The voltage within the embodiment will be found to be effectivelyone-half as much of the original voltage portion of the circuit locatedrespectively on opposite sides and of the central shielding, commonelectrode 800/800-IM or energy pathway portion 800/800-IM comprisingcircuit portion 6901. The isolating and shielding effect of a commonconductive portions of the invention embodiment can be operable fordividing the circuit voltage in half. Utilization of this functionprovides a user a manner in which to minimize the internal stresses orhysteresis effect commonly found with prior art components. Embodimentelement material hysteresis effect, as well as other material-“memory”stresses is recognized as debilitating and undesirable within prior artcomponents, and will be little or substantially absent as an energysapping influence in a new invention embodiment material or elementscomprising the invention 400 for example. Hysteresis effects andstresses will not play a substantial role in the overall ability of aninvention device in its operable dynamic ability to facilitateefficient, energy portion propagation, conditioning or energy portionconfluence occurring within the AOC to any noticeable degree in acircuit assembly like 6900.

[0269] The absence or substantially minimization of hysteresis and otherstresses placed upon invention materials by dynamic operations aredirectly a part of the overall energy conditioning function ability ofthe operating device or assembly and will have a substantial effect uponthe various portions of propagating energies utilizing these materialsand will thus provide more efficient utilization and will not workagainst dynamic operations, as to the determent of the circuit energypropagations.

[0270] The energized circuit portion 6901 found in FIGS. 14A and 14Bcomprises energy source 301 that starts the energy portion propagationsinto a circuit 6900, energy source 301 conductive coupling portion 302which is physically coupled to external energy pathway 303 which in turnis conductively coupled to predetermined, external conductive area orportion 304 to facilitate alignment, support and further optimaloperability of 400 to circuit portion 6900.

[0271] External conductive area or portion 304 can also compriseadditional pathway elements to load 301 that could include an internalelectrode connection material portion or VIA 315 or almost anyconductive medium between the remaining portions of pathway 303 whichcan be wider, narrower, shorter, longer, on the surface of substrateportion 316 or imbedded within multi-layered substrate portion 316B (notshown) by predetermined manner to couple conductively toenergy-utilizing load 301.

[0272] To return back to the energy source 301, energy portionpropagations return once again into a circuit 6900, from energyutilizing load 307, along coupled, conductive coupling portion 308 whichis physically coupled in most cases to, external return energy pathway309 which in turn is conductively coupled to at least a predetermined,external conductive area or portion 310 and on to 311 and the remaining309 energy pathway portion to facilitate alignment, support and furtheroptimal operability of 400 to circuit portion 6900, if needed.

[0273] In conductively attaching embodiment 400 of the invention into acircuit assembly 6900, a solid shaped area or conductivematerial-mounting pad, 304 and 310 or pad material is desired forconductive connection of conductive material or conductive structures890A and 890B. The conductive material mounting pads or pad materials304 and 310 utilized by the conductive material structures 890A and 890Bare for mounting and facilitating structural support and conductiveconnection of into the differential circuit portions 304 and 310 withsolder material or the like 315 which is already utilized by prior art.

[0274] A third energy pathway normally could comprise (2) separated padconfigurations (not shown), which are always preferred for differentialcircuit operations with the traditional, prior art. However, 91)contiguous pad 314 or conductive area 314 is almost always preferred formounting and facilitating structural support and conductive connectionof the monolithic wrap-around-type conductive structure 802 or multiple,paired structures like 802A and 802B soldering attachments for thirdpathway operations.

[0275] Contiguous pad 314 or conductive area 314 along with conductiveVIA or connection medium portions facilitate a static pathway 314-315 tofurther grounding or reference like a chassis ground or earth ground313, if desired.

[0276] Static third pathway 314-315 to 313, if desired also serves indynamic operation as a portion of a conductive pathway or third energypathway or circuit reference pathway of least low impedance as anidentical voltage reference node for portions of energies utilizingpathways 303 and 309 and will also facilitate certain, energy portionconfluences and interaction operable by dynamic operation as well as bya predetermined ‘distanced’ positioning, all of which are operable andrelative to each other made practicable by utilizing an inventionembodiment comprising a predetermined 3-energy pathway conductorattachment arrangement as described herein, in accordance with theprinciples of the invention disclosing an improved circuit conditioningassembly 6900 with component configurations comprising an embeddedelectrode layer/electrode material and prê ermined patterns capable ofhandling significantly higher current loads in certain predeterminedapplications.

[0277] A larger, energy portion propagation network can easily comprisedof a predetermined portion of the energized circuit assembly 6900 willcomprise a low impedance energy pathway.

[0278] Un-like the prior art embodiments, the various electrodescomprising three groupings of common, shielding electrodes aresignificantly differentiated by the relationship of the size ratios orpredetermined sized comparison of each respective electrodes' main-bodyportion 81 or main-body portion 80 to each other, adjacently asindividual electrode, main-body portions or as groupings of single orindividual shielding electrode, main-body portion 81 s to groupings ofsingle or individual shielded electrode, main-body portion 80 s, as wellas, their respective orientation directions and their final functionallybased on predetermined circuit attachment positions and couplings andsubsequent energization.

[0279] Because magnetic lines of flux travel counterclockwise (notshown) within a transmission line or line conductor or layer, if the RFreturn path is parallel and adjacent to its corresponding energy sourcepathway, the magnetic flux lines observed in the return path(counterclockwise field), related to the energy source pathway(clockwise field), will substantially be in the opposing directions.When one combines a clockwise field with a counterclockwise field, acancellation or minimization effect is observed. The closercomplementary propagating, electrically differential energies foundalong pathways are brought together, the better the cancellation effect.Internal cancellation effect, especially within single chip by-passembodiments.

[0280] Use of a “0” voltage reference created by the centrallypositioned and shared common shielding energy pathway electrode coupledto a external common conductive area or pathway 314/315 is possible witha complementary charging of a portion of two distinct common conductiveshield structures, simultaneously from the invention embodiment portion6901.

[0281] The parallel movement of complementary propagating energyportions along found moving mutually opposed along portions of the 303and 309 energy pathways are practicable to receive operable energyconditioning functions as well as and operable electrostatic shieldingeffect in which an energy propagation portion operating on one side ofthe central common and shared conductive energy pathway and the coupledexternal area 314/315 to chassis ground 313 or an predeterminedconductive port (not shown) found elsewhere comprised of substrate 316that will also aid to circuit portions 6901 s' electrical complementarycharge switching effect.

[0282] Complementary charge switching effect is due to the attachmentconfigurations of identically configured 400 unit, which can be coupledand energized to share a third common conductive pathway 314/315 to 313or other area not coupled to 313.

[0283] Solder material 315 is used to couple together in a conductivemanner electrode termination portions 802Aand 802B to conductivematerial pad portion 314 to optional conductive pad/vias 314, 315 to getto earthen ground 313 or similar.

[0284] Pad 314 could also be conductively part of conductive pad/vias314, 315 which would then lead to conductive area or ground 313, orelsewhere if predetermined, which can in turn, can either “float” in anenergized operation like a usage in an un-grounded DC motor as such a DCmotor is a portion of an energized automobile electrical system (notshown) and by being electrically isolated to all but conductive pad/vias314, 315 to 313, or elsewhere if predetermined, or similar or some otherindustry accepted coupling for electrical operation to be operable.

[0285] That means as the invention is disclosed, it is revealed that asa portion of an operating circuit 6900 comprising a circuit assembly6902, where the common shielding electrodes are used as a primary energyreturn pathway 322, but rather, as a grouping of common shieldingelectrodes attached to a third conductive pathway conductive pad/vias314, 315 now attached to a floating or non-circuit grounding common area313, or elsewhere if predetermined, usually not necessary for completinga primarily, energized operating circuit 6902.

[0286] Other operable electrical coupling practicable for electricaloperations that could include but is not limited to third pathwaycombination as described above would lead from shielding electrodes8“XX” to external conductive area 313 so that 313 could be coupled to afurther electrical potential found beyond, like a chassis ground, earthground or as part as part of a quiet ground (not shown) comprisingsub-strate portion 316, for example, a sectioned off portion of a PCBsystem (used as an example for this situation in FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B).

[0287] Each part and its opposite conductive layered electrodes orenergy pathways main-body portions found internally are simultaneouslybeing utilized by portions of propagated circuit energies that at onetime or another would have an electrically opposite counter part locatedon opposite sides of the critical centrally positioned shielding, commonelectrode energy pathway and “0” voltage reference plane comprisingconductive pad/vias 314, 315 to 313.

[0288] The circuit assembly 6900 with grouped third pathway conductiveattachments that utilize and one invention 400 in FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C,will illustrate as a predetermined tri-pathway, circuit assembly formedby predetermined conductive material attachments.

[0289] Thus, predetermined coupled combination of three predeterminedindependent groups of electrodes that are electrostatically shielding,two isolated and separate predetermined groups of shielded activeelectrode circuit pathways from each other while also located onopposite sides of a common ground 313 found between a energy source 301and an energy utilizing load 307 can be practicable as coupled circuitportions for using a commonly utilized common conductive third externalpathway comprising conductive pad/vias 314, 315 to 313, that could be,but is not necessarily a primary energy return pathway 309 in apredetermined closed operating circuit 6900, now created during at leastenergization, for a low impedance pathway to a common conductive area313 along third common conductive pathway pad/vias 314, 315

[0290] These types of conductive circuit attachments can be maderegardless of the embodiment 801 encasement in the sense of a discreteor non-discrete embodiment of pre-determined conductors not of theactual shielding, common electrodes 855/855-IM, 845, 835, 825, 815,800/800-IM, 810, 820, 830, 840, and 850/850-IM layers themselves to theexternal structure pathway 314/315 to 313 or similar utilizing regularportions of the paired inventions units.

[0291] To optimize the decoupling performance, invention circuit andinvention unit 400 should be located as close to the load 307 aspossible, this will minimize the stray inductance and resistanceassociated with the internal electrode portion of circuit traces 301,322, thereby taking full advantage of the invention circuit and deviceproperties and capabilities for utilization by the portions taking theenergy paths in their propagations to undergo conditioning. In thisexample portions of propagating energies found in the operating circuitssuch as 6900, will operate in a complete by-pass propagation mode withrespect to overall handling by respective physically active by-passexternal energy pathways coupled to either locations upon embodiment 400to operate in a by-pass relationship back to the energy-load 307 andpartially within the device 400, as these portions of propagatingenergies return back to the source 301.

[0292] The external energy pathways will stop at the conductiveconnections found leading into assembly 6900 like shown on FIG. 14A,pass through the active electrode portions and begin externally on eachrespective external pathway on the opposite side of the invention.

[0293] The external third pathway-coupling scheme will dynamically aidthe invention embodiments in providing operable common voltage referencefor the shielded electrode pathways but the predetermined external thirdpathway connection scheme aids the electrostatic shielding function thatallows dynamic shielding operability protection to portions ofelectronic system circuitry.

[0294] A predetermined third energy pathway is normally found to beelectrically isolated from, but can be found internally adjacent to, theelectrically opposing, complementary, differential electrode energypathways or power/signal planes. A predetermined third energy pathway isalso coupled extension of the outer external common conductive pathway,extension. This predetermined third energy pathway can also be utilizedin one invention device for certain predetermined circuitries or buslines as opposed to utilizing many individual discrete low impedancedecoupling capacitors positioned in parallel within a comparable circuitsystem in an attempt to accomplish the same goal.

[0295] In other assemblies, these external circuit pathways or traces303 and 309 to be contiguous in the appearance and the invention wouldsimply be placed coupled, over and on top theses external energypathways coupled on either side to allow some portions of energy to usethe pathways as if the units were not coupled to them, while otherportions of energies will enter into the invention units and theirrespective AOIs of the AOC's.

[0296] In all embodiments whether shown or not, the number of conductivepathways, both common shielding pathway electrodes and shielded pathwayelectrodes, can be multiplied in a predetermined manner to create anumber of conductive pathway element combinations in a generallyphysical parallel relationship that also be considered electricallyparallel in relationship with respect to these elements in an energizedexistence with respect to a circuit source will exist additionally inparallel which thereby add to create increased capacitance values.

[0297] When the particular embodiment is attached into a circuitassembly and energized, some of the various energy conditioningfunctions obtained with usage of the energized circuit using the thirdpathway connection scheme, include, but are not limited to,simultaneous, certain conditional, filtering, surge protection andenergy decoupling, certain conditional mutual flux cancellation ofcertain types of electromagnetic energy field propagations, containmentand suppression of portions of E & H electromagnetic energy fieldpropagation or the various parasitic emissions originating form thesefields with minimal portions of energy degradation not normally found byusing prior embodiments that do not comprise such elements as describedin preceding text.

[0298] Although a minimum of one central shielding is shown andacceptable, a common, shielding electrode that is paired with twoadditionally positioned common electrode pathways or electrode shieldsare generally desired and these two additionally positioned commonelectrode pathways or electrode shields should be divided and positionedon opposite sides of the central common electrode shield with respect toeach other and the one central shielding, common electrode. Shielding,common electrode 800/800-IM is predetermined to be arranged andpositioned, shared and in-between the remaining, other inventionelements, the larger common conductive shield structure and finally, theconductive attachment(s) of a common external conductive element(s) thatis/are working in combination together, using electrostatic shieldingsuppression techniques as well as, physical shielding, for influencingand conditioning portions of energy that are propagated within a circuitsystem that one of the various invention embodiments is incorporatedinto for usage.

[0299] The additional sandwiching, common -IM shielding pathwayelectrodes surrounding the combination of a center common shieldingelectrode pathway with interposing shielding pathway electrodessubstantially immuring predetermined pluralities of smaller, shieldedelectrodes are employed to provide an increased and an optimized,cage-like shielding function and surge dissipation area in allembodiments.

[0300] The circuit assembly is practicable to be operable with groupedinternal and external and the third pathway conductive attachments(other than of dielectric material) when energized. This new assemblycombination reveals unequivocally that a factor causing results andimproved circuit performances are predicated upon an inventioncomprising a predetermined, balanced grouping of elements within theembodiments that are centered around the inventions balanced materialportions, the inventions balanced, symmetrical arrangement of thematerial structure in a mirrored relationship on both sides of thestructure totally balanced internal or found on, either side of thecentrally positioned, common, shielding electrode 800/800-IM.

[0301] The choice of the predetermined elements, their quantities,composition or their predetermined arranged groupings that are selectedfor in-combination amalgamation with the invention will substantiallydetermine what type or what kind of portions of various energyconditioning functions an average user could expect to observe orbenefit from as a result attributed to a predetermined amalgamatedcombination with the invention.

[0302] The invention will also minimize or suppress as well as preventharmful and unwanted energy parasitics originating from either of thepaired and oppositely co-acting, differential conductive energy pathwaysconnected to circuitry, respectively, from upsetting one another,portions of the propagating circuit energy or voltage balance within theAOC of the invention. The invention will also minimize or suppress aswell as prevent harmful and unwanted energy parasitics and provide asubsequent conduction pathway of release for escaping in the form ofcommon mode energies and the like back into the circuit system todetrimentally affect a larger circuitry, outside the AOC influence.

[0303] From a review of the numerous embodiments it should be apparentthat the shape, thickness or size may be varied depending on theelectrical application derived from the arrangement of common, shieldingelectrode pathways, attachment structures that form at least one singleconductively homogenous faraday cage-like structure and other conductiveelectrode pathways. The predetermined physically balanced arrangementsand distance relationships that at energization will be simultaneouslyoperable for contributed amalgamated energy conditioning upon variousenergy portions found utilizing the amalgamated invention elements. Thecontribution of each individual conductive element will create a sum ofthe whole that is larger than the sum of the parts taken individually.

[0304] This interactive mutual dependence of elements upon one anotherto create a whole that is larger than the sum of all of its parts is anunique and unobvious invention with each individual part or elementmaking a contribution to the entire overall embodiments' energyconditioning ability Invention modifications of the embodiments arefully contemplated and can be made without departing from the spirit orscope of the present invention.

[0305] As can be seen, many different applications of themulti-functional energy conditioner architecture are possible and reviewof several features universal to all the embodiment portions must benoted. First, the material 801 having predetermined electricalproperties may be one of a number in any of the embodiment portionsincluding but not limited to dielectric material, metal oxide varistormaterial, ferrite material and other more exotic substances such asMylar film or sintered polycrystalline. No matter which material 801 isused, the combination of larger, shielding, common electrode andelectrode creates a plurality of capacitors to form a line-to-linedifferential coupling capacitor between and two line-to-third energypathway decoupling capacitors from a pair of electrical conductors. Thematerial 801 having electrical properties will vary the capacitancevalues and/or add additional features such as over-voltage and surgeprotection or increased inductance, resistance, or a combination of allthe above.

[0306] Second, in all embodiment portions whether shown or not, thenumber of electrodes, both common conductive and electrode, can bemultiplied to create a number of capacitive elements in parallel whichthereby add to create increased capacitance values.

[0307] Third, additional same sized, shielding, common electrodesurrounding the combination of a center electrode and a plurality ofelectrodes are employed to provide an increased inherent third energypathway and optimized electrostatic shielding function and surgedissipation area in all embodiments.

[0308] Fourth, in some embodiments, one central common conductive shieldis paired with two adjacent and additionally positioned, smaller, commonelectrodes or shields are also generally desired and should bepositioned as well divided and on opposite sides of the central commonconductive shield, additional smaller, shielding, common, shieldingelectrodes can be employed with any of the embodiment portions shown andis fully contemplated by Applicant.

[0309] In fact the multi-functional energy conditioner, although notshown, could easily be fabricated in silicon and directly incorporatedinto integrated circuits for use in such applications as communicationmicroprocessor integrated circuitry or chips. Integrated circuits arealready being made having capacitors etched within the siliconefoundation which allows the architecture of the present invention toreadily be incorporated with technology available today.

[0310] Finally, although the principals, preferred embodiments andpreferred operations of the present invention and variants have beendescribed in detail, the disclosure is not to be construed as beinglimited to the particular illustrative forms depicted and thus, it willbecome apparent to those skilled in the art that various modificationsof the preferred embodiments herein, can be made without departing fromthe spirit or scope of an invention embodiment as defined.
